FLASHCUT
is a top-down speed game made for Slapjam #2. You can only dash. Draw a route through the experiment chamber, release to cut, and keep your chain alive for a higher score. Read the enemy pattern, find an angle around shields, dodge shots and lasers, and make every stroke count.

### How to play

- **Draw and release:** Press inside the arena, drag a route, then release to dash along it.

- **Evade:** A short flick moves you without an attack.

- **Chain cuts:** Turn your route through several enemies in one stroke. Hits keep the combo timer alive and charge STILLPOINT.

- **STILLPOINT:** When the bottom bar is full, double-tap the samurai and hold the second press. Draw a longer powered route, then release. It cuts through shields and armor.

- **Survive:** Dodge projectiles and lasers, attack blockers from an open angle, and protect your three hearts. Chase a new personal best.

Designed for touch in portrait mode. Mouse input also works on desktop. The in-game pause menu has a controls reminder, settings, and fullscreen.

### Performance note

This game was built during the 48-hour jam. Large multi-enemy cuts and crowded scenes may slow down on some phones. We optimized the phone render while keeping the same art and effects, but could not complete a full device optimization pass before the deadline.
