Punch Up Controls
Every input for giant-glove movement, punches, and abilities on Roblox platforms.
Clean inputs separate accidental self-ring-outs from intentional Knockout Strategy plays. Punch Up uses standard Roblox movement with glove-specific punch and ability bindings. This page lists controls for PC, mobile, and console/gamepad so you can switch devices without relearning muscle memory.
PC keyboard and mouse
Roblox defaults apply unless Build Tower Team adds custom remapping:
| Action | Default input |
|---|---|
| Move | W A S D |
| Jump | Space |
| Punch | Left mouse click (primary action) |
| Camera | Mouse move |
| Shift lock | Shift (optional — helps edge awareness) |
| Ability slots | Number keys 1–3 or on-screen icons (verify in-game) |
Tips for PC players:
- Enable Shift Lock in Roblox settings for easier edge spacing
- Tap punch rather than holding — spamming may desync against moving targets
- Bind abilities to keys you can reach while holding movement keys
- Lower mouse sensitivity if you overshoot double-jump landings
Pair mechanical skill with How to Play fundamentals before grinding Farm Hits.
Mobile touch controls
Roblox mobile overlays a virtual joystick and action buttons:
| Action | Touch input |
|---|---|
| Move | Left virtual joystick |
| Jump / Double Jump | Jump button (tap twice for double jump when unlocked) |
| Punch | Primary action button (usually right side) |
| Abilities | Dedicated icons above punch — Ground Pound, Bomb Punch |
| Camera | Swipe right side of screen |
Mobile tips:
- Increase button size in Roblox settings if mis-taps cost you ring-outs
- Play on Wi-Fi — mobile lag makes edge fights unfair
- Use landscape orientation for wider camera view of the arena rim
- Rest thumbs near ability icons before knockout finals
Mobile players can compete but may struggle against PC aim at high punch-power metas — consider speed-focused Beginner Build gloves.
Gamepad / controller
Xbox-style controllers map through Roblox’s default scheme:
| Action | Gamepad |
|---|---|
| Move | Left stick |
| Camera | Right stick |
| Jump | A / Cross |
| Punch | Right trigger or face button (check in-game) |
| Abilities | Bumpers or D-pad slots |
Controllers excel at smooth movement during Knockout Strategy circles. Practice braking at edges with partial stick tilt instead of full sprint.
Ability inputs in detail
Once unlocked via Hits — see Abilities Explained — three abilities activate from UI buttons or hotkeys:
Ground Pound
Jump or drop, then trigger Ground Pound to slam the arena floor. Best when multiple gloves cluster mid-map. Do not use near the edge unless you intend to trade ring-outs.
Double Jump
Press jump again mid-air. Essential for recovering when shoved toward the rim. Master timing in private lobbies before Competitive Build ranked play.
Bomb Punch
Arm an explosive strike — often a charged punch or separate button. Save for finishing low-health targets or breaking defensive stalls.
Cooldowns and exact animations may change — check Updates Hub after patches.
Camera and awareness
The floating arena hides rim depth until you nearly fall. Rotate camera frequently:
- Before committing to a chase, glance at your footing
- During Bomb Punch windup, ensure you are not facing off-platform
- In knockout finals with two gloves left, prioritize survival angles over damage
