STREET SMACKERS TURBO-ISH

In a world where punching is illegal… there are still options.

Four fighters… and one more you'll have to earn. Zero punches. One hundred percent open hand. Pick your smacker, take them through the arcade ladder, and slap your way past everyone who disrespected you.

This is a spoof, and we know it. It's a loving, ridiculous tribute to the 90s fighting games you pumped quarters into, made by people who still remember the special-move charts. It's legally distinct, emotionally identical, and proudly not taking itself seriously.

Best played with a controller

🎮 BEST PLAYED WITH A CONTROLLER. Plug in an Xbox, PlayStation or Switch Pro controller and press any button. Keyboard, mouse and phone touch controls work too.

THE ROSTER

Choose your smacker: Brick, Johnny, Max and Roxie

BRICK HARDCASTLE: Hands like oven mitts. Zero chill. All slap.
Special: DRILL SERGEANT (mash JAB) · Super: PALMAGEDDON (↓↘→ + HEAVY)

JOHNNY HIGHKICK: Fast feet. Great hair. Kicks everything.
Special: HURRICANE KICK (↓↘→ + KICK) · Super: SNEAKER STORM (↓↘→ + HEAVY)

MAX VOLTAGE: Five, six, seven, SMACK! Feel the burn.
Special: FEEL THE BURN! (↓↘→ + KICK) · Super: MAXIMUM VOLTAGE (↓↘→ + HEAVY)

ROXIE RUCKUS: Loud. Fast. Steel toes. Get off her stage.
Special: MOSH PIT (mash KICK) · Super: NOISE COMPLAINT (↓↘→ + HEAVY)

Specials cost a quarter of your meter, supers cost half. Your meter fills when you smack and when you get smacked.

??? THE FINAL BOSS ???

The final boss, in silhouette

Beat all three rivals and the lights go out. Someone's been watching every fight. Someone who owns the Smack Shack, the rooftop, the studio and the basement. Nobody's seen his face. Nobody's ever beaten him.

He has his own floor at the top of the tower, and his own theme song. One thing's for sure: rent is due.

FOUR HOME STAGES, FOUR THEME SONGS

The four home stages

  • The Smack Shack: a neon back alley, open all night
  • The Rooftop: a sunset movie set (Karate Kid-ish 3: Kick Harder)
  • The FEEL THE BURN Studio: a beachfront aerobics class with a working mirror
  • The Bowery Basement: Roxie's punk club, 4 AM, sold out

CONTROLS

  • Move / Jump / Crouch: D-pad or stick · W A S D or arrows
  • Block: hold back (down-back = low block)
  • Jab: X · left click or Z
  • Heavy: Y · right click or X
  • Kick: A · middle click or C
  • Start / Pause: Start · Enter

Down + jab is a low slap, and down + heavy/kick is a low sweep (it trips). There's a Training mode with a punching bag (a slapping bag?) and a full meter to practice specials. M toggles sound, N toggles music.

⚠️ DISCLAIMER

AI was used in the making of this video game. Poorly. But we tried, it tried its best, and we're working on it.

No real faces were harmed. Many fake ones were.
