Samurai Draw

A one-button samurai reflex duel at sunset: wait for the signal, then strike before your rival does. Draw too early and you fall in disgrace.

Samurai Draw is a tense one-button reflex game set on a windswept field under a blood-red sun. Two silhouetted swordsmen face each other in silence. When the white exclamation mark appears, you have a split second to draw your blade. Beat your opponent's draw time and you cut them down; hesitate or flinch early and the duel is lost.

Every duel names your opponent and how fast they draw, starting with a slow first rival, and each victory brings a quicker one. Later foes feint with sudden flashes and twitching shoulders to bait you into striking early, and every fifth duel is a boss with extra fake-outs and a faster hand. Points scale with how much faster you were than your rival and how long your streak is. Draw in well under their time to earn Perfect Focus; three in a row grant a paper ward charm that absorbs one lost duel. Lifetime wins raise your rank from Novice to Sword Saint, and your fastest reaction in milliseconds is saved.

This is a short-session reaction test for anyone who loves timing challenges and quick-draw duels. Tip: rest your finger lightly and watch the centre of the screen, not the fighters, since the feints happen on their bodies and the real signal never does.

How to play

Wait for the white exclamation mark, then press any strike key or tap as fast as you can. Strike before your opponent's draw time to win the duel and score points; faster draws and longer streaks score more. Striking before the signal or reacting too slowly ends the run unless you hold a ward charm, earned from three Perfect Focus draws in a row.
