I don’t really know how which attack or taunt I pick effects anything I’m just clicking random things. **Developer response:** Edit 6/21/23: We recently released our 1.4 update which includes a rules explainer. We hope you'll check it out! Hi! Thank you so much for checking it out. We agree with you... it needs a good tutorial. We have two big updates in the works. One of which is online verses (which we're very excited about) and the other is a really good explainer of how things work. We hope you come try it again once these updates are released. ### 3/5 — Buggy still *2023-03-20, version 1.0* Very good concept of a game, although it is still buggy, especially after losing at shinketsu, it just stays at the submit button, also there’s no options to lower the music and sound effects which is trouble annoying when playing on a call, cause bringing done the volume would cause the call to go down too ### 3/5 — Nice concept but a few flaws *2023-03-14* I like the concept of taunt and attack but there’s no point since the opponents attack is predetermined no matter what taunt or the previous taunt you choose. There is also a flaw where you just do high attacks and low taunt and win. **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks so much for checking out our game! It means a lot. The taunt does influence your opponent as you progress through the higher difficulties. Has this not been the case for you? Can you clarify how the high attack and low taunt would allow you to always win? We have been trying to reproduce it but we're not having any luck. This can be done at 1st Dan (this is the easiest difficulty and meant to portray the basics) but from 5th Dan and higher we can't seem to get a consistent win by doing this. Can you clarify which which difficulty this is happening? And which character you are playing as? ### 3/5 — No tutorial or guide on how to play *2023-02-12, version 1.0* Cool graphics and animations but there should be some type of tutorial when the player plays for the first time. I had no idea how to play which made me lose interest quickly. Wanted to let you know this so you don’t lose potential players ## Frequently asked questions about Janken Samurai ### What are the main game modes in Janken Samurai?
