In a not-so-distant future, Japan is under threat, and it's up to you to save the day.

Saki, the Karateka: Punch your way through foes and send them flying into others using buttons, like a game of snooker. The game features a single 3-minute level that tests your skills and reflexes. Learn from your mistakes, progress bit by bit, and aim for the high score!
