Boxing Stars

Mission briefing

Rise from the box underground to the championship and become a boxing star. Improve your skills with rewards to compete in better tournaments.

Field manual

Win matches by knocking out your opponent. Use various attacks, blocking and movement to create your own strategy and form your own story. Train your abilities to compete in better tournaments.

Launch orders: press Launch mission above and the game loads on this page itself — nothing downloads and no form stands between you and the first move. It is designed for a portrait (upright) screen and takes its orders from mouse, keyboard or touch, depending on the mission. It is built tall, for an upright screen — a phone held normally frames it best, though any window will run it. If it offers a fullscreen control, use it — a fight this size deserves the whole screen.

Field notes for fighting operations

• Blocking is a move, not a pause. Most fighting games reward the player who defends deliberately — the opening you need usually appears while you are not pressing anything.
• Learn one short combo properly instead of five long ones badly. A reliable three-hit string you can land under pressure out-damages a spectacular sequence you drop twice a round.
• Watch the feet, not the health bar. Fighters telegraph through their stance and spacing; the bar only tells you how the last exchange went, not how the next one starts.

Boxing Stars — questions from the ranks

What does it cost to play Boxing Stars?

Nothing at all. The mission is free from the first order to the last — no sign-up, no download, no paid tier guarding the good levels. The advertising around this page is what keeps the board free.

What sort of mission is Boxing Stars?

Boxing Stars is filed in our Fighting theatre. Like every operation on this board, it is a browser game — read the briefing above for the publisher's own account of what you are deploying into.

Can I run Boxing Stars on a phone or tablet?

Yes. It plays in the browser on phones and tablets exactly as it does on a computer. It is built tall, for an upright screen — a phone held normally frames it best, though any window will run it.

Do I have to install anything before playing?

No installation of any kind. Boxing Stars is an HTML5 game: press the launch button and it loads on this page, and closing the tab leaves nothing behind.
