Looking for a fighting game that starts instantly? Badger Runner runs in your browser and is completely free to play.

A few things the tags reveal: there is a journey with a beginning and an end rather than an endless score chase; the goal is to last as long as possible against growing pressure.

Tips and tricks
- Special moves are best used to finish a combo or a round, not to open one.
- Jumping is a commitment. Do it to escape or to surprise, never as a default movement.
- Learn to block before you learn to combo. A player who cannot be hit cannot lose, and everything else follows from that.
- Watch the opponent's health bar. Players change behaviour when they are low, and the change is exploitable.
- Because this is a Hypercasual game, find the rhythm of the single mechanic — that is the entire skill.
- Because this is a Platform game, jump from the very edge of a platform for maximum distance.
