VENOM: IMPACT 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.
Weapons drop occasionally for armed enemy types — never before wave 4, and never two waves close together.
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.

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). Your strikes are symbiote strikes: clawed, tendril-extended and much heavier than a normal fighter's — but never slower to come out.

P Claw jab — fast opener

P P Symbiote hook — heavy, extended reach

P P P Rising claw — launches them into the air

K Tendril kick — long reach

K K Symbiote slam — huge knockback

K K K Tendril sweep — trips them to the floor

K P Claw rake — tears low into the ribs

P K Tendril lash — quick low snap

P K K Venom bite — a lunging jaws finisher that puts them down

Air P Dive claw

Air K Plunging slam — great on juggles

Symbiote Mobility

The mass moves like nothing else in the arena — all of it built on the same momentum physics, so nothing teleports and nothing floats.

Long leap — hold a direction as you jump for a huge low bound that carries your momentum across the arena.
Wall climb — jump into an arena wall and hold toward it: you stick and crawl upward for about a second, then slide.
Wall jump — press ↑ / SPACE while clinging to fire off the wall, up and away. Perfect for diving onto a crowd.
Forward lunge — » / F for an instant burst forward. Works on the ground and in the air, then rests for a moment.
Quick recovery — knocked down? Tap » / F or jump the moment you hit the floor to get up much faster.

Rage Mode

The bar under your health is RAGE. It fills as you deal damage — and faster when you take it. Once it is full the bar flares white and the 🔥 button appears (keyboard: E).

For 8 seconds you hit harder, knock enemies further, move faster and your tendril reaches much further.
The symbiote visibly boils: longer tendrils, brighter veins, a wider maw and a trail of living mass.
Rage does not build while it is active — spend it on a crowd or a champion, not on a single student.

Tendril Grab

Fire a strand of living mass with 🕸 / G. If it finds a body it attaches and hauls that fighter toward you — they stay fully physical the whole time, so they stumble, trip and tumble as they come.

🕸 / G Launch the tendril (press again to let go)

👊 / J Throw — hurl them across the arena

🦵 / K Slam — drive them into the floor

Throw hurls them across the arena; Slam hauls them in first, then drives them into the floor.
A flying body is a projectile: it damages whatever it hits — walls, crates, barrels, pillars and other fighters.
The grip only lasts about a second, then the strand releases on its own.
Get knocked down and it lets go instantly.
In wall-slam arenas, a throw into a wall hurts them twice.
Great opener: grab a distant kicker, then slam or throw before they reset.

Enemy Weapons

Venom never carries a weapon — the symbiote is the weapon. Your claws, tendrils and jaws are always with you.

Some opponents walk in already armed (the Blademaster starts with a staff).
Occasionally a weapon drops into the arena. Only enemies with a weapon affinity will pick it up — you cannot.
An armed enemy hits harder and reaches further, but a weapon only lasts a few landed swings before it shatters.
Knock an armed enemy down and the weapon flies out of their hand.

Take armed fighters at your own range: grab them with the tendril, or slam them before the swing lands.

Points

Fighting well earns points — a running record of how brutally you fight, shown top right and carried between fights.

Earn by putting fighters down (tougher opponents pay far more — elites, mini-bosses and the Grandmaster are the big paydays), by keeping combos past 2 hits, by landing heavy contact, by winning a stage cleanly (★★★ pays best) and by clearing endless waves.
Throws, slams and body-to-body impacts all pay.
Points are banked when a fight ends — even a loss keeps what you earned.

Opponents

Every fighter you meet moves, spaces and strikes differently — read the build before you commit.

Boxer — crowds you with fast hands. Don't stand still.
Runner — quick and light. Hits weak, flies far.
Kicker — holds long range with legs. Get inside.
Brawler — slow feet, very heavy hands.
Ironbody — soaks knockback. Only big hits drop him.
Blademaster — starts armed and grabs any loose weapon.
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 — an armed opponent, and more steel on the floor.
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.
