Punchy Clicker

• Mouse to aim, click to act
• Arrow keys or WASD to move; Space to jump or confirm
• Press Escape or the exit button to leave the full-screen player

1. 1Check the start screen for the control hint, then do one throwaway run to feel how your character moves and stops.
2. 2Commit to each input. Hesitating halfway through a jump or dodge is what causes most early crashes.
3. 3Keep your thumb or finger resting lightly on the control so you are never reaching for it.
4. 4Set a target before each run, for example clearing the next obstacle type, and stop for the day when you hit it.

Nothing to learn, nothing to install, and a run of Punchy Clicker fits inside a single song. It is the kind of game that is good when you have five spare minutes and bad when you have five spare hours, because you will use all of them.

Suits anyone from about eight upward with decent reflexes. Adults looking for a palate cleanser between longer games, and phone users who want something to do with one thumb while standing up.

Will Punchy Clicker work on an older phone?

Usually. Arcade games are light and run on most devices that can open a modern browser. If it stutters, close other tabs and try again.

Is there a way to make it easier?

Not normally. Arcade games are built around a fixed ramp of difficulty. The only reliable way to get further is practice, which happens faster than you would expect.

How long should I expect to play?

Individual runs last from twenty seconds to a few minutes. Most people play in bursts of ten or fifteen minutes before stopping.
