Instructions

Pencil Dojo

A doodled sensei defends the notebook page: scribble raiders march in from both edges, so strike the side they come from, and only when they are close.

Free, no sign-up. Keyboard, touch or gamepad.

How to play

  • Left and right arrows (or A and B) strike that side.
  • P to pause.

On touch

  • Tap the left or right half of the screen to strike that side.

Every run starts on the title screen. Pause any time with P or the pause button; calm mode removes flashes and screen shake.

Maker’s note

A timing brawler on lined paper: swing at empty air and you stumble, so patience beats mashing. Raider order and speed come from a seed, so a daily run is the same fight for everyone.

Glossy buttons, physics toys and a loading bar that was always worth the wait.
