Streets of Clubbing
Game art: Dex, Roxy, Big Tone and Kiki square up to a Doorman, a Hen Harpy and a Stag Lad outside Club Inferno's front door.

It's 3am. The lights are up. Get home.

An 18+ retro beat-'em-up for Android. Brawl home from the club through a city that's lost its mind: you and up to 15 mates online, or you on your own.

Kicking-out time

The doormen of Club Inferno have turfed everyone out.

You and your mates have to get home across a city full of stag dos, hen parties, kebab-crazed chefs, dive-bombing seagulls, clampers and the night-bus inspector from hell. It's a proper belt-scrolling brawler inspired by the 16-bit greats: Mega Drive-era pixel art, a thumping FM soundtrack, and 5 stages between the club and your front door.

What's in the bag

Everything a 3am brawler needs

  • 1–16 players online

    Quick Match into a public room, create a private room with a 6-character code, or join your mates by code. Public rooms take joiners mid-run. The more of you there are, the more of them there are, and they take turns to swing at you so nobody gets dog-piled.

The route home

5 stages to your front door

  1. Stage 1

    Last Orders

    Out of Club Inferno's front door, past the velvet rope, into the rain-slick back streets. Smash the bins and phone boxes for snacks, then deal with the head doorman.

    Boss Velvet Rope Vince

    Music Back Door Blues

  2. Stage 2

    Kebab Mile

    A high street of takeaways and shutters. Mind the taxi rank: cabs tear through one lane and flatten anyone standing in it, you included.

    Boss Doner Dimitri

    Music Chilli Sauce Shuffle

  3. Stage 3

    Night Bus

    Across the bus station and onto the moving night bus, where the fight carries on between the seats and more trouble boards at every stop.

    Boss The Inspector

    Music N29 To Nowhere

  4. Stage 4

    The Cut

    The towpath, the lock and the narrowboats. Anyone knocked in the water is out: an enemy is finished, you lose a life. The swans live here too.

    Boss Bride-Zilla

    Music Towpath Trance

  5. Stage 5

    Home Stretch

    Dawn's creeping in over the estate and your front door's in sight. Your ex is waiting on the doorstep, and they've brought the new one.

    Boss The Ex and The New One

    Music Dawn Of The Dead Tired

Strictly over-18s

Streets of Clubbing is made for adults. Expect alcohol, crude humour, swearing and cartoon violence. It's cheeky, never hateful. There's no swearing in the game's own words: it comes from other players' nicknames online, which aren't filtered. Blood can be switched off in the settings.

That's our own advice. The game's official age rating will show on its Google Play listing.

Last orders.

Round up your mates. The streets won't clear themselves. Download it for Android now: it's on its way to Google Play too.
