About This Game

Train in a microscopic dojo

Nanomano is a tiny hero in a white gi and a white hachimaki with a red hinomaru. The arena is a pulsing crimson vessel full of bacteria and parasites, and the only way out is through them, one punch at a time.

Push right. Don't camp the left.

Most enemies stream in from the right, but some walk in from the left now and then. If you hang back on the left edge, you'll get boxed in. Keep pushing right toward the torii gate at the goal.

• Side-view arena action: punch, front kick, back kick, flying kick, and stomps
  
• 40 waves, each cleared by a 20-kill quota
  
• Bosses from wave 21 on, announced by a gold "!" telegraph, and a crowned boss at wave 40
  
• Spiky flyers that attack from the air with dive, sine, and zigzag patterns

A new belt every five waves

Rank up from white to yellow, orange, green, blue, purple, and brown, then black belt. Each promotion gets its own belt ceremony with a clap. After every wave clear, Nanomano performs a kihon move (oi-zuki or mae-geri), and waves 10, 20, and 30 unlock milestone moves: jodan-uke, mae-geri, and kiai. Clear all 40 waves and Nanomano steps to center stage for a standing rei bow while the fireworks go off.
