One Finger Death Punch: put kung fu at your fingertips

One Finger Death Punch

Watch enemies arrive from either side and focus on when to press, rather than memorizing elaborate commands. One Finger Death Punch turns a small set of inputs into flowing combat.

What makes it fun

  1. Find the left-right rhythm

    Press on the side of each enemy as it enters striking range. Reading the order and keeping the hits flowing gives the fight its rhythm.

  2. Keep up as the pace rises

    As enemies come faster, you have less time to read the next side and time the hit. The controls stay left and right, while keeping a chain going demands quicker decisions.
