Samurai Strike

An LCD duel game built for the Dogpit LCD Jam

One hit is all you get. Defeat as many enemies as possible by countering their strikes - or get the first hit in yourself. High strikes beat mid strikes, mid strikes beat low strikes, low strikes beat high strikes.

Two Player mode is a first to 10 competition.

Instructions:

When your opponent attacks, they have a short windup period before delivering the killing blow. If you attack in a stance that will counter theirs, before they strike, you will counter their attack and deliver the blow to them instead! Beware - they can do the same to you. Striking before they are prepared can also work - but patience is a virtue.
