About

Firewall Fury

Features
Read full description

Boot up, glove up, and punch your way through the network. FIREWALL FURY is a neon-soaked, side-scrolling beat-'em-up in the spirit of the 16-bit arcade classics. You are TARS — a zero-trust enforcer with a mean right hook — brawling through a datacentre overrun by rogue security appliances. Jab, kick, dash, and unleash your ULT to clear the racks. THREE STAGES, THREE BOSSES — each with its own moves, quirks, and trash talk: • BASTION — a legacy firewall war-mech that hits like a freight train. • MELTDOWN — an overheating appliance that floods the floor with fire. • THE PERIMETER — the last wall standing. Break it, and you win. FEATURES • Classic belt-scrolling brawler combat: combos, throws, crowd control. • On-screen touch controls AND MFi / Bluetooth controller support. • Hand-animated bosses with telegraphed attacks and multi-phase fights. • A pumping synth soundtrack and chunky retro hits. • Pick-up-and-play arcade pacing — perfect for short sessions. No ads. No tracking. No nonsense. Just fists vs. firewalls.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Firewall Fury at none against Monster Dash's 19. Monster Dash's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
