❤ Gameplay Mechanics

This 2D fighter distills combat to its purest form. Players survive only two hits per round, with heavy attacks potentially ending matches instantly. Each encounter transforms into a razor-sharp psychological confrontation where a single mistimed move costs everything.

❤ Combat Depth

Despite minimal inputs, the game creates profound strategic complexity. Players manipulate each other through precise feints that trick opponents into vulnerable positions, blocking animations lasting mere frames, forcing split-second decisions, and character-specific techniques like Goemon's smoke screen or Hozoin's backwards knife throw.

❤ Neutral Game and Positioning

Matches become intricate dance-like encounters emphasizing millimeter-precise character positioning, predicting opponent's next potential movement, exploiting split-second windows of vulnerability, and reading micro-tells in opponent's stance and movement.

❤ Character Variety

Seven unique warriors offer dramatically different playstyles, including Tomoe as a rushdown character with aggressive forward momentum, Yasuke as a technical fighter with complex movement options, and Goemon as a tricky character using misdirection and smoke tactics.

❤ Player Accessibility

The design welcomes newcomers while challenging veterans by requiring only 2-3 basic inputs per character, creating high-tension moments in every encounter, and rewarding tactical thinking over memorized combos.
