I made this: a browser boxing game (no download, no signup) with real-time PvP over websockets.

The challenge I'm still working through is counter timing. Landing a counter punch feels great locally, but when two players are 150ms apart, what felt fair in testing starts feeling random. I've been tuning server-authoritative hit resolution so the timing window stays tight without punishing anyone's ping.

Current progress: real PvP matchmaking works, there's a spectator lobby where you can watch live fights, and I put a 1,500 XP bounty on my own dev account so there's always someone worth hunting.

If anyone's built real-time multiplayer in the browser, I'd love to hear how you handled hit timing. Happy to share what's worked (and what hasn't) in the comments.

Inspired by Rival Schools, Project Justice and Street Fighter EX3, I wanted to make a game that plays like Rival Schools and school wars, where the game is mostly 2D but you can still sidestep into the 3rd dimension temporarily.

Every character is meant to be a lighthearted parody and certain fighting game character tropes! As of now it's still in the Character Design Phase, but please look forward to a demo releasing in the future!

-> Local Multiplayer Support
-> 8 Directional Combo based Combat System
-> You can block and counter attack as well.
-> It's just a prototype so far.
-> Currently using third party assets for visuals. (I'm just a programmer)
