MARTIAL is an innovative take on the infinite runner genre, where players engage in constant combat against waves of incoming enemies. Unlike traditional infinite runners, where the character continuously moves forward, MARTIAL features a stationary protagonist while the enemies advance toward the player. Players must use the directional keyboard to block and counter enemy attacks based on their patterns.
The game focuses on testing the player’s mental reflexes and encourages active engagement in combat. Rather than simply surviving, players are rewarded for accumulating points by efficiently blocking and attacking. This inversion of the typical infinite runner formula challenges players to think strategically, turning defense into an offensive opportunity.
As the sole creator of MARTIAL, I designed and programmed the game to blend tactical combat mechanics with the fast-paced pressure of an infinite runner, providing a unique gameplay experience that emphasizes timing and precision.
