Play Rabbit Punch Online

Summary

Rabbit Punch (also known as *Rabio Lepus*) is a quirky side‑scrolling shooter that lets you control a squad of round rabbits sporting boxing gloves. They zip across the screen from left to right, blasting foes with a laser beam or firing carrot missiles, while you can snag canned carrots for power‑ups that boost your firepower. The visual style is bright and cartoonish, and each fallen rabbit lets out a high‑pitched, almost comical cry that adds a surprising layer of charm to the chaos.

The arcade cabinet was licensed to Bally Midway for U.S. distribution, bearing the board code BO84‑91946‑A000 and featuring a 68000 CPU paired with a Z80 sound processor. The PCB is split across two boards linked by ribbon cables, and it carries the Bally Game No. OF12, marking it as a distinct piece of mid‑80s arcade hardware.

Storyline

Rabbit Punch on Arcade drops players into the tranquil realm of Bunnyland, a land of hopping peace that’s suddenly shattered by an alien invasion. The invaders swoop in, snatching the king, the princess, and her sister, leaving the kingdom in chaos. In response, the royal family’s own battle mecha, USAGI, is activated to confront the threat. The towering robot battles its way through alien forces, eventually confronting the alien overlord known as the Demon King. With the Demon King defeated, USAGI rescues the hostages and restores calm to Bunnyland.
