Kira's beloved tacos have been stolen — and mutated into weapons. Doc Guaco Taco, a mad-scientist taco, is hurling her mutated tacos back at her at four different heights. Her only defense is taekwondo — punch, kick, and block each one out of the sky before it lands. Tacwondo is a fast, absurd arcade game built on one instantly readable idea. You'll get it in ten seconds, then stay for the combos, the unlockable moves, and the showdown with Doc Guaco Taco himself. • Two-thumb, pick-up-and-play arcade action • Punch, kick, and block tacos across four lanes • Chain combos for a rising score multiplier • Unlock new moves: jump kick, spinning back kick, axe kick, flying knee • 5 levels, then a boss gauntlet, then endless BLACK BELT mode • Game Center leaderboards Feel the rhythm. Match the move. Smash the taco.
