A boxing game in which neither fighter can stand up properly. There is one attack input, the bodies are held together by joints rather than animation, and a swing is really a redistribution of weight — so connecting is partly intention and largely physics. Knockouts happen because somebody's arm went somewhere useful, not because a combo was executed. That is exactly what the format wants. The single input keeps it immediately playable, the ragdoll model keeps it unpredictable, and the two-player mode on a shared keyboard is where the whole thing makes sense, because a human opponent falling over at the wrong moment is much funnier than a computer doing it. Rounds are short, the restart is instant, and nobody ever wins convincingly enough to stop playing.

How to play Drunken Boxing 2
- Stay balanced before trying to hit anything; most losses are self-inflicted falls.
- Swing when the opponent is already committed to a swing of their own.
- Use your own momentum — a punch thrown while moving forward carries far more weight.
- Back off after a missed swing rather than throwing another immediately.
- Play the second slot with somebody beside you; that is the mode this exists for.
Tips
- The fighter on the floor is not out; getting up is part of the fight and so is stopping them.
- Corners are dangerous because there is nowhere to stagger to.
- Against a person, varying the rhythm matters more than varying the move — there is one move.
