Shaolin Mind Body and Spirit

Newest update: Folding Phone Menu and Back to the Title (2026-10-18)

• On phones and in shared X posts the title menu now folds into a gold seal tab after a few seconds so the bout fills the screen. Tap MENU or any seal to open it. Coming back to the game always starts you on the title menu. The temple-gate button is now Explore the Temple, where the story begins.

Earlier update: Sharper Jump Strikes, Throw Keys and Lesson Icons (2026-10-18)

• Jump strikes: every button is its own move now. 1 is a quick lead-hand jab, 2 a heavy rear hand, 3 a snap kick, 4 a power kick that knocks down on a counter hit. The move list shows jump ↗ / ↖. Controls: the card names each master's own four throws with the real keys, and LB/RB/LT/RT (L1/R1/L2/R2) beside them. Lessons: the bar's buttons are icon tiles, and every step shows its type as an icon (talk, watch, drill, chain, trial, guard, quiz). Path: starting an exam from inside another bout now seats you right in the ring.

Earlier update: Phone lesson bar fix (2026-10-18)

• Every master now throws with their own unique paired throws (shoulder buttons too). New jump-forward and jump-back punches and kicks for every style. Path of the Sash explains your rank, awards earned sashes in ceremony, and unlocks move trails you can wear and toggle. Lesson bar redesigned as a row of school icons.
• On phones the lesson bar now sits under the menu, clear of the stick and strike buttons.

Earlier update: Versus Night (2026-10-18)

• CHARACTER SELECT right on the results card: swap masters and rematch without leaving. Every master pairing now trades its own voiced openers before round 1, three per matchup, rotating (press any limb to skip). Rematches keep a running set score, NEW FOE queues you again from the card, and the card tells you when your foe has left. Fast exchanges read cleaner: mashing is capped, long unanswered strings scale down and the 4th hit staggers, trades are softer, one counter flash per string. The Versus lobby walks you through YOUR MASTER, FIND A FOE, FIGHT.

Earlier update: Footwork and Flow (2026-10-17)

• Every master now steps, circles and turns with planted feet instead of sliding.
• All seven masters have their own combo flow, recoil and reach.
• After a knockdown, the fallen fighter gets up and gives back a little room.
• Fighters Studio: build a hybrid, dye the robe with a primary and an accent colour, and walk the Path of the Sash.
• Jumps rise and fall on a real arc, with a crouch on landing.

• @neitantei · loved it · 2026-10-16 · played 6 min · shown first by the maker: “I'm really liking the concept and character illustrations! I noticed a slight delay when launching enemies into the air, though. Other than that, the battle animations are cool, especially seeing my character use Wing Chun to fight lol.”
