About this game
Welcome to Shadowbox Roulette!
A mind game of ragebaiting, deception, reflexes, and sheer luck? Face off in a tense 1v1 where reading your opponent is the key to survival. But! Losing the shadowbox means stepping into Russian Roulette, where fates decides your destiny.
Basically shadowboxing.
Solo: The player engages an AI opponent in a tense shadowboxing duel. Each turn is a battle of deception, look the way your opponent pointed, they earn the right to fire. Victory comes from landing a single decisive shot that knocks your opponent out.
Multiplayer: Still working on it. No rules. Feel free to mess around with your friends.
Given a lot of freedom, players can actually do whatever they want.
