Dave wanted a quiet pint. Now he is barred, bruised and fighting his way home.

Pub Brawl is a single-player, side-scrolling British beat 'em up with retro pixel art, over-the-top bosses and a distinctly questionable pub crawl.

A full six-level campaign

Start in the Copper Crown tutorial, then take on the High Street, Club Britannia, a dark park, the town centre at sunrise, the Moon Under Water and the last bus home.

  • Separate punches and kicks, branching combos, jump kicks and specials.
  • Directional dodges double as sprint attacks.
  • Pick up weapons, smash scenery and recover with beer, kebabs and fast food.
  • Unique hazards: nightclub dancefloor shocks, park darkness, pavement fountains and bus-stop reinforcements.
  • Easy, Medium and Hard modes. Keyboard and controller support.
  • Optional tutorial, arcade score tallies and a hidden testing menu.
