Drunken Boxers — Play Free Online

Endless Runners

Drunken Boxers is a free ragdoll boxing game with a drunken twist: fight the computer or a friend in the browser on Doodle Jump.

Drunken Boxers is a wobbly, physics-driven boxing game. Two fighters step into the ring, both thoroughly drunk, and the goal is simple: stay upright and land more punches than the other side does. You can take on the computer or sit down with a friend for a two-player bout. The fun comes from the fact that nobody moves the way they mean to.

Despite the catalogue label, this is not a runner. It is a ragdoll fighting game, and a round is over in a minute or less. That makes it a good change of pace if you have been grinding vertical climbs on this site and want something loud, silly and short.

It runs in the browser with nothing to install, and a keyboard works best for it.

How to play

Move your boxer with the arrow keys or WASD, and use the mouse to aim and select. On a phone or tablet, tap and swipe instead. Your fighter lurches and sways rather than stepping cleanly, so you are always steering a body that wants to fall over. Close the gap, swing, and try to keep your balance while the opponent does the same.

Each match is a first-to-win contest, so you can play several quick rounds in a row, against the computer or a friend.

Tips

Do not rush in. A swing that misses leaves you off balance, and the opponent often falls over on their own if you give them room.
Use the first match to learn how the body drifts when you let go of the keys. Small, short inputs control a wobbly fighter better than holding a direction.
Against a friend, agree on who uses the arrow keys and who uses WASD before you start, so you do not fight over the keyboard.

Similar games on Doodle Jump

If you like the two-player side, Fireboy and Watergirl is the cooperative option, where you work together instead of trading blows. Bouncy Basketball is another silly physics game with a friend. Ovo 2 and Bird Jumper are better if you would rather have a solo challenge based on movement and timing.

Drunken Boxers suits short sessions, couch-style rivalry on one keyboard, and anyone who enjoys games where the controls are part of the joke.
