About Paunch

✦ AI summary

Battle other players and friends in a flooded swamp where you throw boulders, manage stamina, and loot gear to carry between matches in this roguelike fighter. Resurrect endlessly after wins, collect items from defeated opponents, and customize Bob's ridiculous facial expressions as you survive encounters with surprisingly dangerous hippos and crocodiles.

Forest swamp

  • pleasant vegetation, splashing through water, the soothing chomping of crocodiles and the snorting of hippos — Bob loves the calm of this place
  • a changing time of day, but a clock is always close at hand

Combat modes

  • duel with global matchmaking
  • sparring between friends

Rules

  • with rebirth boulders, Bob can keep living, resurrecting again and again
  • after a win, you can carry out any items from duels and sparring, except boulders — as many as you can hold; take them into other matches or bring them back to Camp
  • you can add the offender or the defeated to friends and continue in sparring — because how could anyone say no to Bob

Attacks

  • boulder throw
  • kick strike

Loot in duels and sparring

  • barrels that always contain something to eat
  • pack-tents with gear and supplies
  • barbed wire stakes — stop animals and discourage excessive kicking
  • firewood you will also find a use for

Stamina system

  • Bob used to allow himself excess, but that is in the past: all food is healthy, and everything is put to use
  • food restores not only the urge to kick, but also grip

Inventory

  • inventory tiles for placing clothing, facial expressions, and food
  • unique facial expressions reflect the boundless range of moods of the swamp’s owner

Swamp dwellers

  • mostly harmless hippos and crocodiles drain stamina
  • they love tents, but hate open fire
  • they chew on your gear, but you are unlikely to be able to punish them for it

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Paunch receives wildly polarized reactions from players, with some praising it as exceptional and entertaining while others report feeling disappointed by recent updates or finding the gameplay not to their liking. The community sentiment is too divided and the reviews lack sufficient detail about actual gameplay mechanics and features to form a clear consensus on whether it represents good value.

This game melted my sorrows and turned it into a rock which I threw at my friend. I am complete as a being and have achieved greatness beyond human understanding. Thank you Paunch devs, for enlightening me and my soul.

Someone took a massive 5h17 and decided to call the massive 5h17: PAUNCH. My fellow CS2 teammates love playing this. I wonder why...

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.

Toxic Commando Game Pass: subscribe, or buy the key?

The Toxic Commando Game Pass add landed on 12 November. Our price record since late September shows the key route barely moved, which changes what a subscription is worth.

Games like Titanfall 2, for the pilot or for the Titan

Titanfall 2's campaign changed its own rules every mission. Games like Titanfall 2 that keep one part of it — the wall-running, the mech, or a campaign that never settles.

Games like It Takes Two, where the second player is the point

It Takes Two cannot be played alone, and that is the whole design. Games like It Takes Two that give each player a different job — including one that makes do with a single pair of hands.
