About Hobo

Hobo is a classic side-scrolling beat 'em up game that puts you in the shoes of a grumpy, trash-dwelling protagonist who has just been awakened from a peaceful nap by a police officer. Forced off his turf, Hobo decides to take his frustration out on anyone and everyone in his path. As you navigate the city streets, you will face off against pedestrians, sanitation workers, and law enforcement in a series of chaotic and comical street brawls.

The game is famous for its unique and humorous combat system. While you start with standard punches and kicks, defeating enemies and progressing through the stages unlocks a variety of gross-out combo attacks. From spitting and blowing nose residue to burping and vomiting, Hobo uses every dirty trick in the book to clear the streets. The cartoonish art style and slapstick humor make each brawl feel like a playable comic strip.
