## What is Swipe Samurai?

Rocks come at you from four directions. You have one finger and a fraction of a second.

Swipe Samurai is a reflex game about reading a screen faster than it fills up. Every rock announces the side it comes from; you swipe that way at the right moment and cut it in half. Time it well and the run speeds up. Miss and you lose a heart.

TWO WAYS TO RUN

Play is where you learn. When a tempo mode opens, only that mode's rocks arrive, so you get a clean window to understand one rule at a time before it shows up mixed with everything else.

Speed run is the real thing. Modes arrive shuffled, the clock rewards perfect cuts, and only these runs reach the leaderboards.

FOUR TEMPO MODES

• Twin Strike — two rocks, back to back, almost no gap
• Mine Field — red mines cannot be cut; touch one and it costs a heart
• Warp — everything accelerates for a few seconds
• Armored Rush — crystal-shelled rocks that need two cuts

A mode is announced by name before it starts, and the first time each one appears the game pauses for a moment so you can read what changed.

THE CLOCK REWARDS PRECISION

Tempo is not just elapsed time. Perfect cuts push the clock forward, so a sharp player reaches the hard tiers faster and scores higher for the same minute. Taking damage pushes it back and buys you a short breather — the difficulty curve corrects itself instead of spiralling.

A SKILL RADAR THAT WATCHES YOU PLAY

The stats screen builds a six-axis picture of how you actually play: reaction, precision, stamina, recovery, consistency and tempo. It updates every run and breaks down separately for each mode, so you can see which one you are weak in and drill exactly that.

WEEKLY CHALLENGE

Every week everyone plays the same sequence of rocks. Your best run from that week replays as a faint ghost beside you, so you are always racing the one opponent who plays exactly like you.

MAKE IT YOURS

Earn crystals by playing, finishing daily missions and keeping your login streak, then spend them on colour themes for your samurai, the arena and your sword trail. Rank up to unlock exclusive themes, and catch the seasonal ones before they rotate out. Cosmetics only: nothing you buy makes you stronger or changes your score.

GAME CENTER

Three leaderboards — top score, highest tempo, most Perfect cuts — plus ten achievements that sync across your devices. Friends show up in the Friends tab of each board.

MADE TO BE FAIR

Rocks never arrive faster than a human can read them. There is a floor on approach time and on the gap between hits, and no mode is allowed to break it. The first run is a guided practice run that starts slow and speeds up only once you are cutting cleanly.

Portrait. One finger. No account needed.
