You Got Served: A Fist To The Face

You Got Served: A Fist To The Face is a fast-paced arcade-style brawler in which you have to smack as many bar dudes as you can without getting beat up yourself. The game features an extremely simple gameplay that will test your reflexes and coordination to considerable lengths.

You Got Served: A Fist To The Face has no storyline or premise; you’re just a beefy dude at the bar who kind of wants some attention. Probably because of the high price for the beverage you just consumed or maybe you’re just drunk, but a bar fight seems like a good idea.

Immediately as you drop and smash a bottle on the floor, redneck-looking fellas come at you with pool sticks ready to preach some bar gospel. Your job, since you started the whole thing, is to fight off the eager men who think that they can take you down.

The gameplay to You Got Served: A Fist To The Face is pretty simple and straightforward. You just have the left and right arrow keys to use, which as you can guess, tell the character in which direction to swing. All it takes is one good punch, kick or headbutt, and your flimsy adversaries will fly a good couple of feet into the air.

Your guy looks tough and is to some extent, but he can’t take more than five punches. The game seems simple but it gets really tough really fast because as time passes, the opponents start coming at you in greater numbers and a lot faster. A few seconds in and you’ll easily get disoriented when trying to figure out in which direction to strike and when. The need for coordination is punishing in You Got Served: A Fist To The Face but it’s also what makes it fun.

You Got Served: A Fist To The Face was built during a game jam session so you can’t expect it to be all that great. The design is good and the gameplay runs perfectly but it lacks in variation. There is room for a lot of improvement but if you’re looking for a casual and easy to play brawler, this one is a nice choice.
