How to play

Silhouette martial arts across six chapters: master weapons, defeat bosses, and upgrade your fighter.

Original silhouette combat with six chapters. Default controls: J attacks, H makes a slower heavy strike, K kicks (including during a jump), L guards, U throws, Q rolls, O throws a knife, and I uses one of three shadow strikes per round. Hold down with an attack for a low strike. Defeat each opponent to unlock the next; replays earn smaller rewards. Export a save from Settings to back up this device’s progress.

Jump then kick for an airborne strike. Heavy strikes hit harder but leave a longer opening. Guard high attacks; crouch under high strikes and use low attacks against guarding opponents.
