“After fiddling about with connections for a bit ... it now works FINE (good responsive feedback from the developers too!) ... activate JUST Bluetooth or JUST WiFi and deactivate the other (like most multi player apps). What an absolute HOOT! Its a reduced set of western sabre moves, dressed as kenjutsu, but thats ok ... its the TIMING and interactivity that your indulging in here ... if only that lame lightsabre app had this functionality. This is everything the Wii promised but utterly FAILED to deliver. more ! more ! more ! PLEASE !!”

"I deeply enjoyed this application since I have a deep love of kendo." A.S.

"This is the coolest game in the world:D i love it." Nikolaj N.

"Thank you very much for the perfect game!" David H.


"...Its amazing how you used the iPhones limited motion detection to create a fun swordplay experience. All thumbs up! Thanks again for this app!" Alexander O.

"What a great game. Never seen anything like it on any platform. Im telling everyone. Cant wait for my first in-person duel. Bound to be the biggest game for blind people in history Id imagine. ... Cant wait to see where you go from here. Awesome stuff." J.D.


ABOUT
***********

TWO-PLAYER WIRELESS SWORD FIGHT:
You swing your iPhone in a overhead attack, but your opponent holds his iPhone up to block and you hear the sounds of clanging swords. Suddenly, your opponent thrusts; you try to block but aren’t fast enough—a cry rings out—your opponent scored a hit. Quickly, you swing from left to right. Success! Your opponent’s iPhone instantly acknowledges the hit.
