### 4/5 — Really fun but to many ads

### 5/5 — more jab bush for the masses

*2025-09-20, version 1.7.1*

more jab bush for the masses please

### 5/5 — Weird but amazing

*2025-08-27, version 1.7.1*

So I like Punch-Out and this game is just like that. The controls are a bit weird but hey this is a amazing game

### 4/5 — A Really Fun Game but with a Problem

*2025-06-13, version 1.7.1*

The game is really fun with cool challenges and all, but there is one problem with the free version of the game that mostly involves the ads instead of the game itself. 

Sometimes after closing an ad, the sound would do a “Wii crash” and then all of the audio for the game would go mute. Shortly after this has happened, after you play the game a while, it just freezes and crashes. I would have to close the game and reopen it every time the audio cut off because of it. I don’t mind the free version of the game having ads, but it’s this bug alone that makes the experience so much worse for me.

### 5/5 — PEAK

*2025-05-31, version 1.7.1*

One of my all time favorite games is Punch out Wii so when I saw this game I knew I had to get it and I do not regret it.

### 5/5 — This is a great game!

Mid game it’s fun till you have to watch adds for everything if you don’t want to spend money on it.

### 1/5 — Too Hard = Boring = Garbage.

*2024-05-03, version 1.7.1*

Too hard to progress, game becomes very very very boring after you’ve been knocked out time and time and time and time again, you get the idea, just no fun. Complete garbage.

### 1/5 — It’s to hard

*2022-04-09, version 1.4.3*

At first, it started to be easy but, when I tried to beat that girl that dances, she’s a little good. But, I get a 1 because when I swiped down to dodge, it didn’t work. I kept swiping down and acting like a monster. Also, I minute is kinda of not enough time. So, can you add more time and fix the problem. Thank you.

**Developer response:** Have you tried using Casual mode? When dodging, make sure you're not holding your finger still before swiping. Some people don't even realize they're doing that.

### 5/5 — AMAZING🔥🔥🔥

*2026-08-13, version 1.7.6*

It is very fun and free and I don’t mind the ads at all. I can see the similarities between this game and punch out Wii. But this is fun and hilarious if I understand the jokes fighters throw around between rounds. And if you could, I think putting in teddy rosevelt and the founding fathers would be cool. Great game!!!

### 5/5 — AMIZING

*2026-08-04, version 1.7.6*

It is very fun and free and I don’t mind the ads at all. I can see the similarities between this game and punch out Wii. But this is fun and hilarious if I understand the jokes fighters throw around between rounds.

### 5/5 — WE NEED attributes

*2026-06-12, version 1.7.6*

The game would be alot better with attributes because you can change strength and speed so new players can pick there fighting style so please add them

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-05-16, version 1.7.6*

The best boxing game I’ve ever played that’s all I have to say

### 5/5 — Needs a sequel

*2026-05-11, version 1.7.6*

Reall good

### 5/5 — Super duper fun game. Needs more Jab Bush. :-3

*2026-04-26, version 1.7.6*

If I had money i’d buy those sweet dlcs ... :,)

### 5/5 — Bro it good

*2026-04-25, version 1.7.6*

You don’t have to pay for the full game

### 5/5 — Can it be made accessible?

*2026-03-16, version 1.7.6*

Any chance you could make this blind accessible? This seems like it’s an awesome game and I’d love to be able to play it.

### 5/5 — Now I don’t have to kill myself for another Punch-Out!!

*2026-03-14, version 1.7.6*

This game is great, but I found a glitch. When EX Jab Bush knocks you down while winded, (while he’s doing his ‘Jab frenzy,) when you get back up, he gets a cheap shot that does 1/4 of your health, meaning if you have been knocked down enough times he can floor you twice at the same time. So please fix that.

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-02-09, version 1.7.6*

Great
