Gameplay
The gameplay is simple, you have 2 attack buttons and 1 jump button. The 2 buttons have a right and left direction, meaning that you can't attack on the direction you're going. The right button has a right attack button, and the left button has a left button. The jump button has automatically the attack instead of requiring to press to attack button while jumping. You can get power ups that spell "Samurai*".

The power ups that spell "Samurai" have the abilities in each piece are: "Sa" - Speeds up your player, "Mu" - Gives you a shield, "Ra" - Enchances your sword, and "I*" - more health. Getting all the pieces lets you have 2 sharp knifes that are projectiles, however, you lose this ability when the stage/section is cleared.
