Not many games can successfully capture the 'art' in 'martial arts' but I think 月白 certainly makes a meaningful effort to do so. That being said, the experience is blissfully short. You can complete the entire game in less than half an hour, which is almost blasphemous for me as one who often weighs the purchase price vs. playtime that I can extract from a game. Nonetheless, games like 月白 serve as a reminder that gameplay length is only one aspect in what makes an experience truly meaningful & worthwhile.

Those cats were fast as lightning (ha!) In fact, it was a little bit frightening (huh!) But they did it with expert timing (ha!) Oh, yeah (Oh-ho-ho-ho) ha! (Oh-ho-ho-ho) ha! (Oh-ho-ho-ho) ha! (Oh-ho-ho-ho, ha) keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on Sure enough Everybody was Kung Fu fighting (huh!) Those cats were fast as lightning (ha!) In fact, it was a little bit fright…

cute game

Really nice game. Short and sweet with beautiful animation for your movements. It's cheap so there isn't a reason not to buy it.

This game is composed of everything I love. It’s absolutely beautiful. Not only is it my favorite game of the year, but I’ve just encountered a masterpiece that ranks among the very best I’ve played in my 45 years of gaming! Thank you for this wonderful encounter.
