About the Game

SHAPE SHOWDOWN is an arcade-style brawler featuring enemies with unique patterns, timings, and abilities that you must learn to overcome.  You'll have to attack, dodge, and parry your way through fights that get increasingly complex with each win.

Each enemy brings a new twist, some can be defeated with brute force, others require precise timing, problem solving, and controlled aggression.

Enemies present you with increasingly complex attack patterns, defense timings, and special mechanics.  Attacks can be dodged, or you can play high risk/reward with parrying. Parrying increases your attack power, but has a shorter protective window than a dodge.

Fights take time to learn, but once you've got the patterns down each enemy can be dispatched quickly with the right moves.
