KatanaHime

very good minigame about timed pattern deciphering. challenging in later stages and in hard mode. art and ui is clearly human-made and looks great. audio is also good - sfx have nice feel to them and bgm has cool tracks 10/10 for a zero price game

I've only played a little over 10 minutes so far but honestly that's all the time I need to really know what this game is doing. The whole game revolves around following the prompts on screen such as ← → x → ↑ (the x here representing space bar). Each stage throws a handful of these at you, and it gets progressively harder on each stage. The prompts visibly fade, move around, get longer. You have a time limit and mistakes remove some of your time. At the end of each stage Khara will whip out her katana and slash apart whatever is in front of her and then the next stage starts. The stages are quite short and there are only eleven of them, but if you fail three times you start over from stage one. There's also a hard mode you can choose to do at the start screen. And there's little things like themes that change the background and music. The Christmas theme will also allow you to play the other mode which is called BeatSlash. It's a very simple, challenging and satisfying little game with a pleasant art style and animations, and they've continued to update the game to add some extra features and bug fixes and so on. That's it. That's the whole game. And for less than …

Simple but fun game. Good to quickly pick up and give it a round or two. Concept is to match the pattern of arrow inputs on screen as it gets increasingly difficult through either the pattern moving, fading, or getting longer. I would recommend the game as a great game for a quick pickup if you have five minutes to kill to give a run an attempt. Time to Beat: Took roughly 30ish minutes for me to get 18/19 of the achievements. The final achievement I got for beating Hard Mode took me another hour and a half over a few weeks of one attempt a day. The final two levels gave me some difficulty.

Short, cheap, and fine to play for a bit if you just want to kill some time.
