About this game
One against a thousand
Mushrooms are trying to take over the world, will a lone samurai be able to overcome the threat of mushrooms filling the world?
Slashboy is a classic arcade game, the main goal of which is to score as many points as possible by destroying mushrooms. You play as a samurai who can jump from wall to wall. Everyone who gets under the blade on the way will be exterminated. The more damage is done to the mushrooms, the more points will be received.
The runs are fast and last for 10-15 minutes, and the screen is adaptable to different screens (including manual scaling), which allows you to launch the game during boring calls, or to pass a little time while waiting.
Main features:
Character movement 360 degrees. Limitations - only walls, and a little mushrooms
Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of metroidvania: several openable locations and unusual bosses are already waiting for battle
More than 10 enemy variants, which can do nothing, or bruise the hero's sides or rob him
Combine abilities in any order and almost any quantity, all abilities are used every few hits on enemies, meters passed or as soon as they are in the skill ring
All abilities can be found at the level and subsequently improved
Scalable difficulty system from the time of the game and open locations. For long runs
Several game modes, including a dark mode
A gambling system that allows you to get useful items at the expense of extra souls
And, of course, the leaderboard! Fight against yourself and other players, beat your records!
It's time to find out how long the samurai will last?
