How to Play

Belt Quest (1 player)

A music question pops up. Answer it before the timer runs out. A right answer makes your fighter strike, and the faster you answer, the harder you hit. Answer wrong and your attack misses (your opponent ducks, blocks or jumps, or you slip!), then they counter-attack. Run out of time and they strike first. Get 3 in a row for a flying-kick special move! Win 2 rounds to earn the next belt.

2 Players

Both players see the same question. The first player to answer correctly strikes. Answer wrong and you're locked out of that question, so don't just mash buttons!

Controls

Tap or click the answers, or use the keyboard.
1 player: 1 2 3 4 (or A S D F)
2 players: Player 1 uses A S D F   Player 2 uses J K L ;
Press the 🔊 button on a question to hear it.

Combos, specials & bosses

Answer 3 in a row to unleash a special move. Every master has a signature move of their own, so watch out! Win a round without taking any damage for a PERFECT.

My Fighter

Design your own fighter. Earning belts, PERFECT rounds, LIGHTNING answers and combos unlocks new gear: gi colors, hairstyles, a flame headband, a ninja mask, victory poses and special-move effects.

Exam Track

Practice for your ABRSM music theory exam. Each grade is a 15-question exam worth 75 marks: 50 to Pass, 60 for Merit, 65 for Distinction. Every right answer is 5 marks, but get 6 wrong and the examiner wins! Use Practice to train on one grade's questions with no timer.

Practice Dojo

No timer and no damage. Try any belt's questions on the training dummy and read the tips when you miss.
