14 CONTENDERS. NO FILLER.

One fight, a choice, then the next—until the forge is lit.


Emberleaf is a pure boss rush that runs instantly in your browser tab. No corridors. No shops.


⚔️ THE THREE RULES

  • A Hit is a Hit: No armor, no chip damage. Your damage always lands.
  • Earn the Break: Hits, parries, and perfect dashes fill the enemy's poise. Break them for up to a 3x damage multiplier and a visceral riposte.
  • Honest Tells: Nothing kills you unfairly. Minimum 0.55s wind-ups.
    White core = Parry. Hollow ring = Dash.

💀 14 FIGHTS, 14 IDEAS

Each contender is built around one core mechanic. Understand it to win.

  • Selka: 6 masks. Kill a mask, delete its attack.
  • Kellengrave: Rhythm combat tuned to a 4-second bell toll.
  • Seraine: Severs her own legs in Phase 2 to become a deadly knife fighter.
  • ...and 11 more.

🔼 THE META-LAYER

Between rounds, choose one of three permanent stacking boons. The next room immediately fades in around you. The fights are the game.


⚠️ EARLY BUILD NOTES

Entirely code-generated at runtime (a tiny 1.5MB download). All 14 fights are fully beatable, but balance is still in its first pass. The current hero is a placeholder while the final female elf swordfighter is being modeled.

Feedback wanted: Which fight made you quit? Did any attack feel unreadable or unfair?
