Game made by Jalzu and Lennyi for the GMTK 2026 Game Jam with the theme "Count Down".

This is a rhythm fighting game with a retro aesthetic. In the game, you take part in a martial arts tournament where you must defeat your opponents before the countdown reaches zero. The countdown increases if you manage to dodge your opponent’s attacks, but it can also decrease further if you play carelessly.

The game features rhythm elements—you have to strike your opponent in time with the music. Share your high score in the comments!

Please note that the game works best in the standalone Windows/Linux build. The web version of the game has some issues with the synchronization of music and the gameplay but it can still be played.

Controls: 

 -Space/Left mouse click: Attack and navigate menues

 -Arrow keys/WASD: Dodge enemy attacks and navigate menues

 -F: Secret button for epic 3D graphics!
