Tuff E Nuff

Screenshots1 / 2

Two fighters face each other in a street battle with brick buildings behind them. The left fighter wears red and white clothing with an orange-red color palette, while the right fighter wears blue and green. A horizontal status bar spans the top displaying player health, round number (2 of 3), timer at 22 seconds, and score values. Vertical health bars with gradient coloring frame both sides of the screen. The background shows brick walls with weathered texturing and parallax depth, creating an urban alleyway setting rendered in 16-bit sprite graphics.
