About this game
Shadow Fist is a fast-paced stickman beat 'em up built around kung fu combat. You take control of Kai, the last student of Master Lin, whose mission is to recover the Dragon Scroll after it is taken by the Black Lotus clan. The journey takes you through a series of buildings, cleared one floor at a time. Every level brings waves of attackers, a boss waiting at the end, and a golden key needed to unlock the way out.
Movement between rooms is handled by climbing ladders and riding elevators, which lead from cramped living rooms and kitchens down to dojos and dark basements. Your moveset covers punch combos, kicks, aerial strikes, a spinning special attack, blocking, and a dash that grants brief invulnerability. The story portion includes eight levels, each with its own unique boss. After that, the game generates thousands of additional levels with fresh enemy mixes and new challengers to face.

Hold S or the down arrow to block, Shift to dash, and W or the up arrow to climb ladders or ride elevators. On mobile, use the on-screen controls.
