Hadoken

Hadoken was one of those simple, focused games you'd find during the Flash era. It lived on sites like c1ic.mx, which specialized in one-button games. The premise was straightforward, borrowing the name of a familiar special move from fighting games.

You control a character who must fire a projectile, the hadoken, at a steady stream of incoming spheres. Your only action is a left click. Each click launches the attack to destroy a sphere before it reaches you. The spheres come in different colors and patterns, sometimes requiring quick, successive clicks. The main objective is to survive as long as possible while your score ticks upward. The pacing starts slow but builds tension quickly; a single missed sphere ends the game. It feels like a tense, rhythmic test of timing and focus.
