Play Rabbit Punch Online

Blast through enemy swarms as a rocket-bunny, punching robots mid-air and scrambling for power-ups before they overwhelm you. It’s ridiculous, chaotic, and weirdly satisfying when you pull off a last-second missile barrage to clear the screen.

Game Overview

Rabbit Punch is this weirdly charming arcade shooter where you play as a rocket-powered rabbit out to rescue the kidnapped royal family of Bunnyland. Yeah, the premise is ridiculous—but that’s half the fun. You’re zipping through six levels of side-scrolling chaos, dodging enemy fire while blasting away with your back-mounted rocket launcher (because why wouldn’t a rabbit have one?).

What I like is how simple but frantic it feels. You’ve got three ways to fight: a basic gun, a surprisingly satisfying melee punch (hence the name), and these limited homing missiles that feel like a lifesaver when swarmed. Power-ups drop randomly—shields, invincibility, missile upgrades—and grabbing one at the right moment can totally flip a level from "I’m doomed" to "I am unstoppable." Just don’t get hit three times, or you’re back to the start.

It’s not deep, but the controls are tight, the bosses are delightfully over-the-top, and honestly? Punching monsters as a rocket rabbit never gets old.
