About this game

Hobo is a classic Flash side-scrolling beat 'em up game created by SeethingSwarm and released in 2008. You control a homeless man woken up and harassed by police while sleeping on a bench, starting a chaotic street brawl across the city. You can punch and kick enemies at first, and unlock special disgusting combos including spit, snot and puke as you progress. Trash cans, bottles and other street items can be picked up as improvised weapons. Fight civilians, thugs and cops to reach the final boss. With crude art style and dark humor, it is one of the most famous nostalgic Flash browser games on Chinese game portals.
