Enough
with the
name calling. Capitol Contenders, a satirical arcade boxing game by Kyoken Labs

Broken promises. Rising costs. Same old noise.

Joe Public has work, bills, and a TV that never stops shouting. So he picked up the gloves.

Meet Joe Public. Regular guy. Full ENOUGH! meter.

The guy behind the gloves

Everybody talks a big game in Washington. Joe came to play one.

He isn’t a pundit, donor, or insider. Just a regular person with a job, a family, and bills that keep getting bigger.

Another insult. Another promise that disappears after the cameras leave. Another night on the couch wondering when anyone will talk about what actually matters.

He didn’t come to save Washington. He came because he’d had enough.

Inside the ring

Read the tell.
Make the counter count.

Your gloves in the foreground. Your opponent straight ahead. Arcade boxing built around timing, patterns, and the moment a clean counter lands.

First-person view from inside the ring: red gloves in the foreground, The Don in star-spangled trunks squaring up under the Capitol Contenders arena banner
Joe Public vs. The Don. First-person combat, from inside the ropes.

Big John. Heavyweight. Keystone Crush.
PunchFind the opening.
DodgeRead the tell.
BlockTime it right.

Development artwork. Final gameplay and interface may evolve.

Patterns over panic.

Watch the opponent, spot the opening, then strike. Every contender brings a different rhythm to the ring.

Spend your stamina wisely.

Punches, blocks, and dodges have a cost. Pick your moment, recover, and keep something in reserve.

Earn the big moment.

Clean dodges, perfect blocks, and counterpunches build the ENOUGH! meter. Fill it, then make your point.

The signature mechanic

Everybody has an
ENOUGH! point.

For Joe, it’s the insults, the excuses, and the cost of everyday life. In the ring, smart defense and clean counters fill the meter. When it’s full, frustration becomes power.
