Sorry for the blurry text, still working that one out!

So, you want to learn a new language, but you're too lazy to put in the work? Maybe you'd rather play some videogames? Well, now you can do both, and at the same time at that!

In this game, you play as Lü Dongbing, a heroic character from Chinese taoistic folklore. His sword was specifically designed to destroy demons and evil spirits.

Gameplay and controls:

Pick one of your five attacks: Fire, Metal, Wood, Earth, and Water. Every attack gets a word attached to it. When you choose an attack, you must write that words Chinese character, writing each stroke from blue to red.  Doing so well enough makes you deal more damage. When you are done, press the spacebar to launch your attack.

Watch out though! The demons you fight will attack every so often. Your only defence: good timing. A demon will prepare for an attack, leaving them vulnerable.

Take note of which attack you choose. Some attacks will be more (or less!) effective against certain types of demons. Additionally, getting a high score on a word causes an effect to occur based on your attack.

You can level up by training your words. Getting a good score on five different words causes you to level up, increasing the power of your attacks and giving you five new words to learn.
