The Arena is a good time since each wave alters the enemies and traps.Īrena mode is more straight forward and doesn’t feature any different scenarios or modifiers.

Second tier is a rage mode that slows down time and your punching power increases to ludicrous levels making it look like your hands are sledgehammers bashing watermelons.
