This game is my first foray into the Game A Week challenge. It pulls influences from my love for Zen and quick, fast-paced action, in an attempt to engender the state of ‘no-mind’ as discussed in Takuan Soho’s “The Unfettered Mind”.

The game is a 2D bullet-hell, where the player plays as a samurai attempting to out-maneuver, parry, and dodge an endless hail of shurikens thrown from around the room.
