About This Game

A crime syndicate has taken the Devil's Temple. Five floors of fists, blades and dark magic stand between you and the man at the top — and the only way up is through every one of them.

KUNG FU is a modern pixel-art beat-'em-up built in the shape of the arcade classics: one screen at a time, one floor at a time, no wasted motion. Play it solo or hand the second controller to a friend.


High and low strikes. Jump kicks. Grabs and grab-breaks. Parries, dodges and cancels that let you turn one opening into four hits. Pick up a knife, a spear or a staff and the whole rhythm of a fight changes.

Chain hits to build the Ki-Burst meter, then spend it when the screen fills up and there is no clean way out. Every enemy has a tell, every attack has a counter, and the combat is tuned so that the answer is always a decision — never a button you mash.


Five themed floors, each its own gauntlet with its own escalation:

  • The stone gate — where the syndicate finds out you're coming.
  • The wooden dojo — trained fighters, in numbers.
  • The jade hall — where the weapons come out.
  • The fire pit — the floor that punishes standing still.
  • The black-marble sanctum at the summit.

Fourteen characters across the climb: two playable heroes, seven enemy archetypes, five bosses — all hand-animated in the arcade tradition, drawn for silhouette first so you can read a crowded screen at a glance.


No floor lets you leave without a fight. Five bosses, and every one of them telegraphs, cycles and punishes — starting with the Giant, who takes up most of the corridor and does not care how good your combo is. Learn the tell, punish the recovery, climb.

Bring a friend and it becomes a different game. Local two-player couch co-op, arcade style: two fighters with distinct movesets, one shared screen, and twice as many enemies with somewhere to be.
