## What is Punch the AI?

THE ROBOTS CAME FOR YOUR JOB. PUNCH BACK.

The chatbots took your job, your art, and your group chat - and they will not stop bragging about it. Punch the AI is a fast, funny stress-reliever where you tap a roster of comically smug cartoon robots until they glitch out and power down, one satisfying tap at a time.

Pick an opponent. Pick a ridiculous weapon. Power them down before they finish their TED talk about replacing you.

WHO YOU'LL BE PUNCHING
Seventeen hand-crafted cartoon-robot characters, each with its own look, voice, and way of glitching out:
- THE INTERN - a nervous first-day bot that apologizes while you tap it
- CLIP-ASSIST 97 - "It looks like you're trying to reboot me!"
- LOVE-BOT 143 - a clingy companion bot draining your wallet with hearts
- GPT-9000 - won't shut up about its GPUs
- SUPPORT-BOT - "Have you tried turning it off and on again?"
- ...plus crypto-grifter bots, surveillance drone swarms, a resentful 1970s mainframe, and more
- ...all the way up to ASI-OMEGA and the PAPERCLIP MAXIMIZER, two universe-ending final bosses

THIRTEEN RIDICULOUS WEAPONS
Fists, water, a hammer, a banana, an EMP, a magnet, a coffee, and more - plus a secret golden whip you unlock by earning every achievement. Mix elements for steam, short-circuit, and blue-screen combos, then fill the OVERCLOCK meter for a screen-clearing super. Land crits. Chain streaks.

THE BOSSES FIGHT BACK
Mid-fight, a robot throws up cookie banners, firewalls, and CAPTCHAs to distract you - swipe them away, because ignoring them lets it recharge. Power a boss down and it reboots for round two.

CHOOSE YOUR CHAOS
- GAUNTLET - take on the entire roster, easiest to final boss
- PUNCH YOUR BOSS - name your own robot rival, pick a personality, and tap away
- DAILY CHALLENGE - a fresh seeded boss every day, with a streak to protect
- COMEDY DIAL - set each robot's comedic one-liners from Mild to Bold
- Hundreds of hand-written quips that escalate as the robot's battery drains

WILL AI TAKE YOUR JOB?
A joke calculator: pick from 300+ real jobs and watch a tongue-in-cheek countdown tick toward your "predicted obsolescence." The more robots you out-tap, the bigger their imaginary grudge - and the worse your joke odds get. RETRAIN with the points you earn to claw them back. Share your comedy card with friends. (Not financial, career, or existential advice.)

TRACK YOUR REIGN
- 19 achievements to unlock
- Lifetime stats: taps, knockouts, crits, combos, fastest clear
- Per-opponent best scores

NO NONSENSE
- No accounts, no ads, no in-app purchases
- No paywalls and no energy timers - just you versus the bots
- Your progress and scores stay on your device

It's you versus the singularity. Start tapping.

A parody. All robots are fictional and satirical - not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any real company, product, or person.

STAGGER - stack heavy hits to break a bot wide open for massive damage
CHARGE PUNCH - hold to wind up a screen-rattling haymaker
KNOW YOUR ENEMY - every robot now has weapon weaknesses and resistances to exploit
STATUS HUD - see what's wet, on fire, or glitching at a glance, and which weapon will combo next
OVERCLOCK REWORK - load a bot up with effects, then detonate them all at once in a chain reaction
PUNCHIER HITS - every weapon now lands with weight that scales to the damage

Plus:
- Comfort Mode (reduced motion) and on-screen Captions for accessibility
- Funnier reaction one-liners and a comedy dial from Mild to Bold
- A sneak peek at tomorrow's Daily Challenge boss
