Roll with the punches and beat Hyper Missions. Bet on your own skill. Ante up before each match and reap the rewards or suffer the consequences of defeat. Gain experience, hit the Lawker Room, and level up each fist individually. Customize your fighting style by filling out a branching tech tree.

This looks like it has good, manic, skill-based gameplay.
The in-game graphics don't look great. I believe changing the BG from mostly gray to actual colors would improve them quite a bit.
The sprite split-up explosion effect is honestly the worst thing about your game. Games like this need to have satisfying explosions, and this effect just doesn't cut it. Even a really basic particle effect that resembles an explosion would be way better. Check out games made by Treasure to see what explosions should look like: Alien Soldier, Gunstar Heroes, and Gradius V come to mind.
