## What is Manshin?

A Korean shamanism action arcade game where you play as a mudang purifying folklore ghosts from across Korean tradition. Two original systems shape every run.

[Original Systems]
- Yin-Yang Balance: every weapon and passive carries a yang or yin alignment. Builds skewed to one side stack damage or defense bonuses; balanced taegeuk builds unlock unique synergies.
- Ritual Gauge: kills fill the gauge. Activating purifies the screen and triggers the chosen character's signature ult - 18 characters with 18 distinct ult behaviors (guaranteed crits, mass freeze, 3x damage window, magnet drop, and more).

[Core Loop]
- Auto-attacks: 13 traditional Korean ritual tools fire on their own - the bell, talisman, ritual knife, fan, incense burner, bow and more.
- Evolution: max a weapon and pair it with the right passive to unlock evolved forms like Spirit Bell, Guardian Knife, and Heavenly Bow.
- Ritual Gauge: kills fill the gauge. Activating purifies the screen and triggers the chosen character's signature ult.
- 18 characters: Manshin, Baksu, Spirit Medium, Goddess, Heavenly King, and more. Each has a starting weapon and unique ult so every run plays differently.
- 11 stages: Abandoned Yard, Graveyard, Crossroads, Mountain Pass, Haunted House, Shrine, Underworld Road, Dragon Palace. Korean folkloric atmosphere throughout.
- 5 bosses: Water Ghost, Gumiho, Dokkaebi King, Yacha, Dueokshini. Each spawns at a fixed minute mark.
- 5 run modes: Hard, Endless, Daily Challenge, Boss Rush, Madness.

[Permanent Progression]
- Spend souls between runs on 16 meta upgrades.
- 60 achievements for long-term goals.
- Bestiary, lifetime statistics, and recent-runs history.

[Ad Model]
- No forced ads. All ads are rewarded video.
- Watch an ad to revive once per run on death.
- Watch an ad to double the souls earned this run.
- 5 characters and 4 stages unlock by watching an ad instead of paying souls.

[Requirements]
- One-handed mobile controls with virtual joystick.
- Korean and English supported.

All music, SFX, and art were created or arranged specifically for this game.
