The Iron Man: Rumble

Objective

You are a martial artist fighting through 10 short arenas. Drain the opponent's health bar (top right) before yours runs out. Every punch and kick transfers real momentum — knock enemies off balance, launch them, juggle them in the air and finish them while they are down.

Win a stage to unlock the next one.
Fast, clean wins earn up to ★★★.
Total stars unlock cosmetic belts and auras.

Endless Mode

A separate survival run: one arena at a time, wave after wave, no end. You keep your health between waves (with a small top-up each time), so a deep run is about clean fighting rather than luck.

Waves get harder through who walks in — new archetypes, mixed pairs and trios, and a champion every 5th wave.
The arena changes every four waves.
Hostile weapons drop occasionally — never before wave 4, and never two waves close together. Only enemies can claim them; the suit fights with its built-in systems.
You score for every fighter you put down, plus a bonus per wave cleared. Your best wave, score and survival time are saved.
Points pay out per wave (champion waves pay extra) plus an end-of-run bonus for depth, survival and your best combo.

Repulsor Flight

Your boots and palms are repulsors, so mobility is part of your kit — but the reserve is small, and it only refills while your feet are on the ground. The blue gauge above the jump button is your thrust.

Repulsor jump — a normal jump, fired by the boots.
Vertical boost — keep holding jump in the air to climb fast.
Hover — at maximum height the boots hold station and burn far less thrust. Release to drop instantly.
Air dash — a short forward burst, twice per airtime. Aim it with the stick, or it fires straight ahead.
Slam landing — drop from flight height and you detonate a shockwave that knocks down anyone near the impact.

Flight steers hard and stops the moment you let go — it is a burst of mobility for repositioning, juggling and slamming, never free hovering.

Signature Weapons

Three armour systems, each on its own cooldown. The three buttons above the dash show the wait — while a system is charged the icon shows, and while it is recharging the button shows the seconds left.

🚀 Shoulder missiles — a salvo of three homing rockets that arc out, track the nearest fighter and explode with radial knockback.
◉ Heavy repulsor — a short charge, then a huge palm blast that detonates on impact and ragdolls anything close to it.
✸ Chest beam — a sustained frontal beam that shoves everyone in front of you down range. The longest cooldown of the three.

Keys: 1 / Z missiles • 2 / X heavy repulsor • 3 / C chest beam.

Moves & Combos

Two buttons, eleven strikes. Which one comes out depends on where you are in a combo string — keep pressing within a second to walk up the list. P = punch (👊 / J), K = kick (🦵 / K).

P Jab — fast opener

P P Cross — heavier, longer

P P P Uppercut — launches them into the air

K Front kick — long reach

K K Roundhouse — big knockback

K K K Sweep — trips them to the floor

K P Body hook — dips low into the ribs

P K Low kick — quick shin snap

P K K Finisher — the hardest strike you have

Air P Dive punch

Air K Jump kick — great on juggles

Hostile Weapons

Arena weapons are for your opponents only. Iron Man cannot pick them up, summon them, or use them — the suit's fists, flight and armour systems are the complete player kit. An enemy holding a weapon replaces its punch attacks for a limited number of swings; a knockdown makes it drop the weapon again.

Sword — quick diagonal cuts with long reach.
Staff — wide spacing sweeps that can catch multiple targets.
Axe — slow overhead cleaves with major impact.
Hammer — rare, committed smashes that can knock you down.

Keep moving, use flight to change range, and punish an armed opponent during the recovery after a committed swing.

Score

◆ Score is earned by putting fighters down (tougher opponents pay far more), keeping combos past 2 hits, landing heavy contact, winning stages cleanly and clearing endless waves.

Opponents

Every fighter here is built to fight an armoured opponent: they read fast, resist knockback and each one cycles its own set of attack routines — rushes, launchers, sweeps, spacing kicks and hand flurries. Read the build before you commit.

Boxer — relentless hands and rushing combos. Don't stand still.
Runner — blitzes in and out, constant pressure.
Kicker — owns long range, sweeps and launchers.
Brawler — slow feet, genuinely dangerous hands.
Ironbody — barely moves under fire. Huge impact.
Blademaster — starts armed and grabs loose weapons.
Skirmisher — dodges your windups. Bait, then punish.
Elite Guard — full combo strings and sharp reads.
Ironjaw — mini-boss. Charges, sweeps and launches.
Grandmaster — three escalating phases. Good luck.

Arenas

Each of the 10 stages changes the rules, not just the view: arena width, gravity, knockback, hard walls and weapon availability all shift.

Dojo / Courtyard — open ground, clean fundamentals.
Back Alley — cramped, hard walls, nowhere to run.
Market — huge arena, two fast harassers.
Rooftop — low gravity: launch and juggle.
Warehouse — weapons everywhere, armed opponent.
Temple — a duel against a fighter who reads you.
Neon City — mixed types, in waves.
Foundry — boxed-in steel, brutal knockback.
Boss Arena — the finale.

Fighting Tips

Combos: mix punch and kick — linked hits escalate force.
Launch & juggle: uppercut, then jump kick before they land.
Hit zones matter: head hits stagger, leg kicks sweep and trip.
Walls: in some arenas, slamming enemies into walls hurts them.
Space: a downed enemy gets brief safety when standing up — reset your range.

Difficulty Curve

Stages 1–3 teach the fundamentals. From stage 4 onward opponents steadily get tougher — faster reactions, more aggression, better evasion, stronger knockback resistance and nastier line-ups (extra fighters and reinforcement waves in the late stages) — ramping up to the Grandmaster. Stages 4–6 ask for attention, 7–8 are hard, 9 is very hard, and 10 is the finale. Late stages send reinforcements rather than crowding you: you never face more than two live opponents at once, and clearing a wave patches you up — generously before a mini-boss or the Grandmaster, who you fight one-on-one.
