PutEmUp

**PUT 'EM UP!** is side-on voxel boxing for people with glass jaws.

Take a nobody from a backyard gym with ten people watching and climb eight bouts to a sold-out stadium, where the undisputed, undefeated, un-moveable heavyweight champion of the world is waiting.

He is a large man called Big Bertie Boulder, and he shrugs off your first punch. Every rung gets a bigger room, a louder crowd and a ring announcer who is far too excited about all of it.

**Seventeen fighters, and every one of them has a gimmick**

- **Grandpa Knuckles** lies down for a nap in the middle of the round. Punch him awake and his next one lands double.

- **Goldie Gloves** stops to fix his hair after you hit him in the face.

- **Disco Danny Dynamite** dances out of the way instead of blocking.

- **Zorp**, a little green man, lifts you off the canvas with every punch.

- **Chuckles McWallop** honks a horn at you.

- **Count Knockula** heals off the damage he deals.

- **Marcel the Mime** blocks with an invisible wall that hits back.

- **Gentleman Jim's Ghost** has been dead since 1893, and some of your punches go straight through him.

...and nine more: a mummy, a scarecrow, a luchador, a chef who stops for a snack, an astronaut, a pool shark, a punk, a hometown hero and the champ.

**Gimmicks level up.** Every bout pays XP, and the screen after it sells the next tier of any fighter's gimmick: Grandpa's nap starts healing him, the Count's bite gets bigger, and Zorp's uppercut starts sending people into the rafters.

**How it plays**

Jab, hook, uppercut, body blow, block, dodge. Taunt to fill your HYPE bar, then spend it on a haymaker that bounces them off the ropes. Get knocked down and you mash your way back up before the referee reaches ten, but it gets harder every time, and the third knockdown is a TKO.

**Tag teams.** Two to a corner, one in the ring, tag your partner in when you're hurting. 

**Friends can drop in at any time.** A spare keyboard or pad presses JAB and takes over a CPU boxer, mid-fight. Up to four on one machine, or host and join over LAN or direct IP.

**What is in it**

- **Campaign:** eight bouts from the Backyard Gym to Voxel Stadium, via a farm, a park, a tavern, a church hall, a casino and a cemetery at midnight where the entire crowd are ghosts.

- **Time Attack:** pick a gauntlet of opponents and knock them all out against one clock.

- **Warmup:** a sparring partner who fights back, only blocks, or just stands there.

- **Thirteen venues**, a crowd that stands up when it gets good, a referee who counts, a ring girl with the round card, and an announcer who welcomes you to the Boneyard because "the crowd is dying to see this".

*Built in Godot 4.7. The cast is the Boxing Voxel pack by tribusgamesindie; ten of the fighters were generated on that pack's own body and checked against it by a set of automated "does this look like one of ours?" tests. Venues use the Farm, Church & Cemetery and Tavern sets by XeehSets and the 3D Voxel Park by MariaIsMe. The announcer is local text-to-speech with the hype turned up.*
