Boxing Star, the acclaimed arcade sports game from ThumbAge, has just rolled out an exciting update that promises to ramp up the fun factor. This latest patch introduces not one, but two new MegaPunches—special moves designed to bring down your opponents with a bang. Alongside these powerful additions, the update also features new gym training equipment to help you beef up your character between fights.

While traditional boxing simulation fans might turn their noses up at the game's arcade style, there's no denying the allure of its blend of humor and high-octane action. Boxing Star's unique mix of exaggerated expressions and intense combat is what sets it apart, and these new MegaPunches are set to enhance that experience further.

MegaPunches, akin to the Critical Arts in Street Fighter, are super moves that you can unleash once your Hyper Gauge is sufficiently charged. These devastating blows are key to flattening your opponents, and with the latest update, two new options are on the table. The first, Flame Bone, draws inspiration from the mythical dragon, engulfing your punches in fire and delivering damage based on critical hits. The second, Frost Fang, imbues your strikes with ice, freezing opponents in their tracks and dealing damage while the icy effect lasts.

Not only are there new MegaPunches to master, but Boxing Star's update also introduces fresh gym equipment for your character to train with between bouts. The Deadlift machine boosts your skill damage stats and can be upgraded up to level 8, while the Training Timer reduces the time required to train your skills.

While Boxing Star may not replicate the realism of a boxing match (unless it's a superhero showdown), it more than makes up for it with its engaging and flashy content. For those looking to venture beyond the sports simulation genre, consider diving into the nostalgic world of Amusement Arcade Toaplan, where you can enjoy classic 80s arcade hits in a 3D environment right on your mobile device.
