About Punch Planet - Early Access

Punch Planet is a Competitive Sci-Fi 2D fighter with a rich and immersive universe, spanning exotic planets, advanced cities, and alien races.

SECTOR-K

Punch Planet is developed by 3 longtime competitors. Our focus is to create a fighting game with a solid foundation of competitive mechanics while also introducing a new depth of story, humor, and design.

STORY

Roy, an undercover Detective for the Luna PD is caught up in a galactic conspiracy. Framed for a high profile murder, he must follow his only lead to Planet K-0. Known to many as Punch Planet, it is the central hub for the evil scum of the Universe. There, he will have to track down the real murderer and bring them back to his home world in an attempt to clear his name.

MECHANICS


Time Canceling (T-METER)
Galactic Civilization has reached new heights. With the introduction of Time Canceling Devices, users are able to travel through time! The technology is fairly new and limited, currently allowing travel up to 1 second into the past for small corrections to everyday problems. The devices come equipped with an auto fail safe which will disintegrate your former self preventing any possible time paradox.

Use these devices to perform special mechanics such as Double Time Canceling (DTC), Jump Time Canceling (JTC), and Absorb Time Canceling (ATC). Be careful, energy is limited and is directly connected to your TC Meter.

Energy Attacks (E-METER)
Perform enhanced versions of your characters unique attacks by spending 1 E-Meter. Combine 2 or more E-Meter stocks to execute a powerful Advanced Attack.

someday it will be released :) lets hope (if you are into fighting games, this is one is good)
Not recommended May 19, 2026
Game was good, had some cool aspects, tight mechanics and some interesting characters but I'm pretty sure the devs are kind of done with it. I don't think its ever getting a full release and the only thing anyone can hope for is the devs repurpose all the mechanics and assets into a fresh full game with modern features for people to get excited about this dev team again. I wouldn't recommend buying it atp its totally dead.

Slow Development but it is very much clear the Devs do care for the game. I'm assuming that the devs themselves are still having full-time jobs hence the delay but I rather they tweak the game to their wanted outcome then rush the project. Highly recommend if you like an "old-school" mechanic intensive fighting game. I look forward to 1.0 when it finally arrives. Need a game like this especially in the current age of fighting games

Love the visuals and style of Punch Planet, and it plays very similarly to the traditional Street Fighter formula. Character designs are interesting, fighting styles are unique and varied. The best thing about this game has to be the fact that the developer(s?) are still updating it. Brand new character out just this month! That is truly great! I use Linux, and Punch Planet used to work just fine with Proton. However, at some point in the last few years, Proton stopped working out-of-the-box for me, but I can get the game to work with the following launch option: PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% All in all, love it, very impressive for an indie fighting game.
