“I made a free multiplayer boxing game that runs right in the browser. … When you string wins together, the game puts a bounty on your back automatically.” (excerpt from the source)
Built over countless hours by a staff software engineer (u/boxing-boxing). AI assisted with the artwork and the code.
“Hi, yes I used ai for the artwork and the code. Not a vibe coder though, staff software engineer by trade, built websites long before AI was a thing.”
Built with TypeScript, Postgres, Redis and WebSockets, no game engine; Next.js for site structure and APIs.
“I didn't use any game engine, all typescript, postgres, redis & websockets. next.js is the only framework used and thats mainly for the site structure & API's”
Phones: the creator says “Yes works on mobile, can customize controls if you want double touch joystick. Default is joystick for movement & blocking, buttons for punches.” (source)
This is not a vibe-coded game, so there is no Starter recipe for it here.
