Bow Down! Daimyo Procession

Features
Read full description

"Bow down! Bow down!" A daimyo's procession is coming down the road, but your daikon tax won't wait. While a samurai turns to look, bow to the ground. When no one is looking, pull daikon in your field. A silly one-touch timing game, like Red Light, Green Light in old Japan. ■ Hold to bow, let go to farm That's all there is to it. When a red "!" appears over a samurai, hold to bow at once. Get caught standing and you're "Busted!" ■ Pay your tax Pull enough daikon before the procession passes. Bow too much and you fall short; get greedy and you get caught. ■ A colourful procession • Porters and spearmen who never look (but fake you out with sneezes) • Inspectors who always look twice • The lord, peering out from his palanquin • The Shogun's grand procession, every 10th time • A princess whose look is harmless and who tosses gold coins to the humble • And, for some reason, a procession of cats ■ Little rewards • Bow just before the eyes arrive for a "Perfect bow!" • Golden daikon are worth 10 ■ Things to collect • 13 titles earned from how each run goes • 7 outfits to unlock, from a loincloth to a cat costume • A procession book of everyone you've met ■ Price Free to play, with no in-app purchases. Ads appear only as a banner on the title screen and as video ads you choose to watch (to continue a run once). No ads during play.
