KATANA

KATANA is a top-down action prototype: three B-movie chapters, one sword, and a drum band that plays the fight with you. Inspired by Ape Out and Kill Bill.

Controls: WASD to move, mouse to aim, left click to cut (an enemy in reach gets a dash), right click to deflect bullets, R to restart the floor, Esc to pause. A gamepad works too.

Try: F3 changes the look and F8 changes the music, anytime, or use the pause menu.

Chapters: Tiki Tiki Bang Bang · Five Dolls for a September Blade · The Blue Lantern Massacre. Jump to any of them from the menu.

Feedback wanted (please comment below):

• Which chapter's look and music did you like best?
• Did the dash and deflect feel good?
• Did the game feel frantic, or just stressful?
