WordBlade: Spinning Top Battle

Type one character and watch it become a spinning top, ready to battle in a round arena. Its shape decides its stats, so every letter, kanji and kana makes a different spinning top. Take it online for ranked PvP battles, or play a friend with a room code. A glyph's strokes, ink and balance decide its Attack, Defense, Stamina and Speed. Complex characters hit hard, heavy ones hold their ground, balanced ones spin the longest, and small, light ones move fast. Switch the typeface and the same character fights differently. HOW TO PLAY - Pick a character: Chinese characters, Japanese kana, English letters and digits all work - Pick a typeface: Gothic, Serif, Round, Kai or Script, each with its own stats - Launch: swipe on SHOOT! A PERFECT launch gives the highest starting spin. Swipe left or right to set the spin direction - Boost: swipe during a battle to dash in that direction. Hold up to three charges; one refills every four seconds - BURST: every collision charges your gauge. When it is full, trigger BURST for three seconds of much stronger attack and defense, with almost no spin loss SCORING - Spin finish 1 point, Over finish 2 points, Burst finish 3 points. First to 3 wins - Each round lasts 45 seconds. If time runs out, the faster spin wins FIVE STADIUMS - Standard: the classic bowl with four exits - Orbit: lap the outer rail to build speed, then sling into your rival - Twin Gate: one wide exit on each side - Crown: a hill in the middle bends every path - Bumper: walls all around, and hits bounce back hard Pick one or go random in CPU battles. Each Tower floor has its own stadium. MODES - Online battle: Ranked match finds you an opponent of a similar rank as you climb from 10 Kyu through 1 Dan to Meijin.
