Tensu

You move with the arrow keys, jump with one button, and attack with another. The moment-to-moment play involves running through side-scrolling stages, jumping across gaps, and fighting enemies that get in your way. Your main goal is to reach the end of each level, navigating its obstacles and dealing with whatever foes appear. The mechanics are basic but responsive; you learn the timing of your jumps and attacks quickly. The pacing is brisk, and the difficulty feels fair, presenting challenges without becoming frustrating. It feels like a direct, uncomplicated test of your timing and reflexes.
