​

How is it played?

​

In starting off the game, the first move is always the “Charge”. This serves as the key to unlock other attacks or move that can be used against your opponents.

​

For the first charge, you can unlock these moves: “Knife”, “Bang!”, and “Bounce”. “Knife”, you can only use this move to the person beside you. This can be defeated by the “bang!”.

​

“Bang!”, you can use this move against any player, may be beside you or across you. But it cannot work against “bounce” and other high-charged attacks.

​

“Kamehame Wave”, inspired by the famous anime series, Dragon Ball, the “kamehame wave” was born. It is worth two charges, it can defeat a “bang”, “knife”, and “bounce”. This can also breakthrough a shield.

​

“Mirror”, “Bazooka”, and “Teleport”, worth of three charges, these offenses can weaken your opponents.

​

“Mirror”, this is an upgraded version of “bounce”, but instead of bouncing back only one player’s attack, it can counterattack every player.

​

 “Bazooka”, the best offense in the game. It can defeat all low-charged attacks and defenses except the “mirror” and the “teleport”.

​

“Teleport”, the best defense in the game. It lets you dodge every attack of every player. Their attacks did not reach you for you have “teleported”.

​

With these attacks you can formulate strategies to win and at the same time have fun.
