Bō Smash

Prototype

Swing the staff. Smash on the beat.

Bō Smash is a fast rhythm arcade game played in your browser. You stand in the middle of a straw-rope dojo ring with a lacquered bō staff, and pots, melons, lanterns and daruma dolls fly at you from eight directions, right on the beat of a live taiko soundtrack.

Aim your staff with the arrow keys (or drag on mobile) and swing into each target as it crosses the ring for a PERFECT hit. Chain hits to build your combo, fill the meter and unleash the Whirlwind when a swarm attacks from all sides. Just don't hit the bombs.

Easy to learn, hard to master, and deeply satisfying to smash. Play Bō Smash free, with no download and no sign-up.
