Description Fight pixelated enemies as you choose your fighter, and try to remember the combo moves.
Instructions Controls:
Menu - Space = select; Shift = cancel; Arrow Keys = navigate;
Combat - F = Jump; D = AttackA; S = AttackB; Arrow Keys = move; Space/Shift/P = Pause; Press right, right or left, left quickly to dash; Different attacks are available while jumping, dashing and turning; Consult the movelist on the pause screen for details;
Advanced Mode:
Guard = The cyan bar beneath each character's health depicts their guard power. When guard power is full, attacks will be deflected automatically; when it runs out, attacks will strike normally. When guard power drops below zero, psy is consumed to Guard Burst, knocking away enemies and restoring guard power. Guard power increases when resting.
Psy = The purple bar beneath the guard bar depicts psy power. Whenever a character strikes another, or is striked, psy power increases. Psy power can be used to perform psy attacks, noted by a purple star in the movelist. Most psy attacks are activated by holding down the attack button, instead of releasing quickly. When health is critical, psy power increases automatically up to 80%. When psy power reaches 100%, Over Psy is activated, consuming 60% of total psy power to restore health. The player must decide whether to use psy power for powerful psy attacks or the healing Over Psy in each situation.
Simple Mode:
In simple mode, Guard and Psy will be universally deactivated so you can skip all this and just bash things. Simple mode is not necessarily easier once you understand the mechanics, since you lose access to healing and stronger attacks. Choose wisely.
