Banzo

Panel 1 A shinobi crouches at the foot of a dark dojo tower. One tap, and he springs for the far wall. Panel 2 Spikes jut out and kunai whistle across the gap. A short hop back to his own wall slips him past both. Panel 3 Far below, a red rift starts to climb. It speeds up every second he lingers. Panel 4 Floor after floor falls behind him, and each shuriken grabbed on the way counts towards three stars. Panel 5 The endless climb has no summit, only a record. Every run is logged with its date and height. Panel 6 Back in the dojo, a fresh costume waits and a quiz card is drawn. The next attempt is already on. The tower holds 24 floors in six dojos of four, Courtyard, Bamboo Gate, Lantern Hall, Iron Roof, Storm Spire and Moon Keep, with a checkpoint at the start of each dojo and 72 stars to collect. Eight costumes, from Ashfoot and Jade Step to Ink Monk, Frost Heron and Sensei, open as floors are cleared or shuriken gathered. The Way of Quiz asks ten questions on martial arts and Japan from 22 real facts, with three lives and a timer on each one, while 14 achievements and a stats page keep score.
