During defense mode, blank button commands will scroll from right to left. As the button command nears the action line on the left of the screen, a direction will be displayed on the button. command. As the button command reaches the action line, you must press the corresponding directional key; blocking an attack. One failure, and you are slain. Success, and you enter attack mode.
In Attack mode, you must memorize the attack combo you are presented with, and press the respective directional keys in the correct order, as the blank button commands reaches the action line. If you fail this task, you re-enter defense mode and continue. Suceed, and you leave your foe lying in a fountain of crimson.
Oh wow this game's kinda like mine, ninjas, die in one hit, etc. I like your's better than mine though hahaha. I love the sound effects especially the one when you die, really funny. Great work, maybe you can turn it into a semi rhythm game where the commands come in time to music.
Fantastic atmosphere, amazing graphics and really compelling concept! Excellent difficulty curve and deeply satisfying play … the sounds simply makes it. Would have liked some kind of "progress ladder" to motivate me to carry on for the "big boss"
I feel like this could've used some more visual feedback - a screen flash would've been very fitting with the genre. I would've liked some animation too. Seems like a solid mechanic though not terribly unique. Good sound and music.
Nice game. reminds me of the good old International Karate for C64, at least the graphics :P - I liked it, and the sound effects are just right! Good job!

That felt very old school samurai movie. Good job.
I imagine this is what the Kirby Superstar mini-game, Samurai Kirby, would be if someone were to expand on it. I love the idea and implementation, though I would have killed for more animations when attacking and defending. Great work!

Pretty good! Sound design and animations are really good. I love the theme and the increasing difficulty.
Would be cool if you had less time to memorize when you got further, though.

Buttons fading in short before the button line is cool, spices up the reaction.
After understanding the behavior it becomes pretty easy though.
With more art assets and animations (and enemy levels?) this would be twice as good! I demand more bloooooood >.<
