About Kung Fu Dojo

Kung Fu Dojo is a retro side-scrolling beat-em-up where it's just you, your fists, and your feet against a dojo full of trouble. Attackers close in from both the left and the right, so you're constantly turning to face the next threat while trading blows. The hook is that pure old-school arcade rhythm: read the crowd, pick your moment, and clear the room before anyone lands a hit. It's a Battle Arena original built around simple, readable combat rather than long combos, which makes every punch and kick a real decision when enemies are pressing you from two directions at once.

You control your fighter with the left and right arrows to walk, and your character always faces the way you move, so positioning is everything. Press Z or J to punch, a fast strike with short reach that's great for enemies right in your face, or X or K to kick, which is slower but reaches farther to catch attackers before they get close. Each level sets a quota of opponents you must defeat to clear it, and getting touched costs one of your six hearts. Across the 15 levels the crowds grow denser, hit harder, and pincer you more aggressively from both sides, so the difficulty climbs steadily from a gentle warm-up to a genuine test.

The winning strategy is to keep your back away from being surrounded: face the bigger group, use the kick's longer reach to thin them at a distance, then punch fast when someone slips inside. Never stand still in the middle of two waves, and spend hearts carefully since you only get six. Because progress saves automatically, you can chase that quota again and again to push deeper into the 15 levels, and signing in for free stores your runs across devices and puts your name on the all-time top-15 leaderboard.
