KIRU KAKOU

Game Title: KIRU KAKOU

“KIRU” means “to slash” and “KAKOU” means “to encircle” in Japanese.

Overview

• Built with Phaser 3
• Playable directly in your web browser — works on both PC and mobile devices

How to Play

• Attack enemies appearing from the left and surround friends appearing from the right.
• Draw trails using mouse drag on PC or swipe on smartphones.
• While drawing a trail, if an enemy touches it, you lose one life.
• Exceeding the time limit also results in losing one life.
• Losing all lives results in game over.

• The effect of your trail changes depending on the number of self-intersections in your trail.
• With 0 intersections (CROSS), it's an attack.
  • However, if the trail length (LENGTH) is too short, the attack fails.
  • Attacking enemies adds to your score, attacking friends significantly reduces mana.

• With 1 intersection (CROSS), it's a surrounding action.
  • However, if the surrounded area (AREA) is too small, the surrounding effect fails.
  • Surrounding enemies decreases mana, surrounding friends increases mana.

• With 2 or more intersections (CROSS), time stops.
  • Enemies and friends stop moving, but the time limit continues to decrease.
  • Extend your trail to attack many enemies or surround many friends.

• Collect the required mana for each stage to clear the round.
• The location of items is displayed as a hint at the start of a stage and  when you make a large circle.    Items will appear when you make a narrow circle.     You can activate the item's effect by slashing.    - S: Adds score,    - T: Adds remaining time,     - P: Power Storm (pushes enemies to the left and friends to the right)
• Surrounding multiple friends at once multiplies the mana gained, making it easier to clear rounds.
• Remaining time at round completion is added to your score.
• When all rounds are cleared, remaining lives are added to your score.
