A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Play as the referee instead of the boxers in this exciting fighting game!

In this game, you play as Jeffery the Referee. Your goal is to judge the match so that the fighter on the left side wins, without raising suspicion of your cheating ways to the fighter on the right side.

Press Z (Keyboard), Left Mouse Click, or A (Controller) to award a point to the fighter on the left. Press X (Keyboard), Right Mouse Click, or B (Controller) to award a point to the fighter on the right.

A fighter wins the match when they earn 5 points or if they have more points when time runs out.

Points should be awarded when a fighter punches the other.

Points can be rewarded for blocked punches, but this raises suspicion.

Rewarding a point when no punch occurs raises suspicion a lot.

You win if fighter 1 wins, and you lose if fighter 2 wins or if suspicion gets too high.
