About the Project

Bushidash is a fast-paced arcade game where you control a samurai in a zen moment disrupted by aliens teleporting in. The game’s main mechanic is dashing, acting both as attacking and movement and encourages players to rack combos up and chain dashes to create a faster playstyle, but mistiming a dash will end up breaking the entire streak!
