Haymaker

**Early Access Notice** Haymaker is in active development and launching in Early Access (EA) to refine its combat systems, expand its content, and experiment with a variety of gameplay modes. The core melee foundation is solid and fully playable – with physics-driven hand-to-hand combat, dynamic AI, and sandbox-style encounters – but some environments and progression systems are still in early prototype form. These will continue to evolve throughout EA as player feedback shapes the game’s development. **Pricing** The current EA price reflects the game’s in-progress state and will likely increase as more content and polish are added. **The Game** Haymaker is a physics-first VR combat brawler focused on authentic body mechanics and replayability. {716437574196414} • Physics-driven hand system – grab, grapple, block, and strike through physics-based interactions. • Gesture-based kicks – engage shoulders and back muscles to kick and knee opponents for damage and crowd control. • Incoming-attack indicators – read opponent strike intent in real time to counter, block, or intercept, creating fast, cinematic fight flow. • Active ragdoll characters – every fighter reacts dynamically to impact, gravity, and environment props. • Adaptive AI – teammates and enemies predict target positions, choose optimal attacks, and improvise with nearby objects. Built on a 120 Hz simulation for high-fidelity collisions and smooth gameplay, Haymaker delivers fluid, reactive combat. Join the Discord: https://discord.gg/s8E6Gg4BHe
