Iron Lotus

Iron Lotus is a free fighting game made with AI by @keslon, and you can play it right here in your browser.

Iron Lotus is a side-scrolling Shaolin temple brawler. The Dark Master's raiders have breached the courtyard at dawn — stand in the gate, and fight.

Chain light punches into a rising uppercut, sweep with spinning kicks, and take to the air with flying kicks. Build your chi meter with every clean hit, then unleash a crackling chi blast across the courtyard. Dash through danger with brief invulnerability, and read each raider's wind-up before committing.

Fallen raiders leave behind chi talismans — five battlefield blessings to fight over:

• Fire Fist — every strike burns for +60% damage
• Iron Body — shrug off the heaviest blows
• Storm Dash — your dash becomes a lightning weapon
• Jade Gourd — restore your health
• Chi Surge — fully charge your chi in an instant

Clear four waves of raiders — shadow brawlers, iron brutes, and the Dark Master himself, who wields crimson chi waves and awakens to new fury at half strength. Every hit feeds a combo multiplier, so keep the chain alive: your best score is saved between sessions.

Retro pixel art rendered from hand-built fighters, a hand-painted temple at dawn, and synthesized arcade sound effects. Keyboard controls, playable right in the browser.
