More about this game
You stand at the end of a bridge facing waves of clay warriors. The goal is to survive five waves of three enemies each, followed by a final boss duel. Enemies walk toward you, and you must wait until they enter the glowing strike circle before acting. Basic foes require a simple slash, while shield bearers must be blocked first. Missing the timing or using the wrong move costs one of your three hearts. The run ends when you lose all three hearts or defeat the Clay Shogun.
Tips
- Do not act too early. If you slash while an enemy is outside the 145-radius strike window, you will lose a heart.
- Shield enemies start appearing in wave two. Always press block when they enter the circle to break their guard before slashing.
- The boss gives a 1.15-second cue before attacking. Wait for the text to appear and match the requested move exactly.
Questions
How do I beat the boss?
The Clay Shogun appears after wave five. It has six health points and will flash either a block or slash cue. You must match the exact move six times in a row.
How does the scoring system work?
You earn 100 points for regular enemies and 350 points for boss hits. This base score is multiplied by your current combo, which resets if you take damage.
Why did I lose a heart when I slashed?
You either slashed too early, slashed too late, or attacked a shield enemy without blocking first. You only have three hearts, so timing is critical.
