- Ever wished when you faked punched someone that a punch sound effect came out of your hand?? - With Fistpunch now it does! Just choose one of the four awesome hit sounds and then make noise in one of two fun ways. 1. The the fist on the screen or 2. Hold the device in your hand and move it or shake it. For maximum fun put a device in each hand! Get it now! - Self contained app, no internet connection is required to annoy people! DISCLAIMER: This app is a novelty app, like for fun, to mess with your friends and family. Please do not use it to harass and terrorize people! Also it is advised that you do not connect it to an external speaker device (or if you do keep it low). If you blast some of these noises really loudly, as with any sound, you could really damage your hearing! - Also, be careful to secure your device tightly in your hand if you are going to throw fake punches! We assume no responsibility if you accidentally hit yourself or others in the face or anywhere else, or accidentally throw your phone into a flatscreen TV or off of a cliff! Or do anything equally as stupid. :) Don't be an idiot, and don't hurt yourself or others. BrennanMoyMedia assumes no responsibility to damage you cause yourself, others, or to property! on this or any known or unknown planets or in the space between them. We warned you, don't be a moron! Thanks and have fun with it!
