How to play Neon Brawl

Neon Brawl is an original 2 player fighting game for the browser. Choose one of four fighters and win two rounds to take the match.

Rules

Each round lasts 60 seconds. Knock your opponent out, or have more health when the timer runs out, to win the round; the first to two rounds wins. Light-light-heavy strings into a combo, blocking reduces damage to chip, and every fighter has a special move on a cooldown. Volt throws a bolt, Forge charges, Nyx fires an orb and Hex has a rising uppercut. Stages are Neon Cage, Rooftop Rift and Void Dock.

Controls

Player 1: WASD to move, F light punch, G heavy kick, H special, C or hold back to block. Player 2 in Local vs: arrow keys with J/K/L and N to block. On a phone, a D-pad plus LP, HK, SP and BLK buttons appear; landscape works best.

Tips

Do not throw specials while they are on cooldown; walk in with jabs instead. Block when you are hit rather than mashing buttons, then punish with the light-light-heavy combo.
