About the Game

Key Features

  • 2D Girls

Meet Khara, Sonja, Janis, and Levi. We wanted to make their small story come alive with 2D animation. we hope you enjoy spending a little time with them.

  • Simple Command-Based Action (Approx. 20 Min.)

No complex combos needed. Just follow the on-screen arrows (↑,↓,←,→), time your final SLASH, and enjoy the ride through all 11 stages.

  • Satisfying Physics-Based Destruction

Success means one thing: cutting your enemies into countless pieces. watch everything shatter and fly apart from your slashes feels incredibly satisfying.

The Story (If you're curious!)

A woman with red hair roams the town.
She is a villain. Khara.
But kids don't care about reputations.

Three of them—Sonja, Janis, and Levi— run straight up to her.
They notice the great sword she carries.
They ask her to save their stray cat from danger.

Khara was getting a little bored, anyway.
This looks like a perfect excuse to cut anything, no strings attached.
She quietly nods.

Ironically, she is the villain who will save kid's day.
