The Trailer

How a duel is made

Three turns of the key

Every fight is a little machine. You build it, you wind it, and then you let it go.

The full game screen: the stage above, the music-box drum below

I

Set the pins

Before each fight, place your pins on a turning music-box drum. Each pin is a move your fighter will make.

A horned knight and a dwarf smith face off under a storm sky

II

Wind the drum

Turn the key. The drum begins to play, and your figurine comes to life on the stage.

An elf swordsman faces a goblin with a clockwork scimitar

III

Watch the duel

No buttons, no text on screen. Just steel, sparks and the song you made, until one of you falls.
