You play a martial artist fighting waves of human enemies across five locations inspired by retro action movies. Each run builds toward a boss encounter as the crowds grow more dangerous.
Movement and positioning are central: martial-arts attacks cycle automatically, so you guide the fighter into range and face enemies at the right angle. The stages also contain objects and fixtures you can use to strike, throw, push, or evade opponents.
Level-ups let you choose attacks for a sequence of up to six moves. Matching attack colors and arranging numbered moves in sequence can add bonuses. Between runs, you spend collected teeth on permanent upgrades and unlock further techniques.
Players often enjoy the game’s kung-fu action-movie theme, environmental combat, and the visual payoff of chaining martial-arts moves into combos. Reviews also describe runs and unlocks as absorbing, though some find early progression demanding or grindy. Common criticisms include limited stage variety, random or frustrating combo choices, and environmental pickups that can interrupt or weaken a build.
