Janissary Battles

Eight Janissary contests are gathered in Janissary Battles. Pressing PLAY selects the retro-pixel games randomly, with Arrow, Axe, Sword, Mace, Arena, Spear, Catapult and Gun all named. The description gives a five-point target for the levels, so the immediate score has a stated destination.

Janissary Battles lists touch or Up Arrow for Player 1 and touch or W for Player 2. These are the supplied action inputs; no additional keyboard buttons are named, so check the current game's prompt for what a press does.

This collection is available only for two players. A Scoreboard in the corner tracks wins, giving you a way to follow the rivalry beyond one exchange. The source does not explain every weapon's physics or the random-selection order, so read each new activity before assuming the last duel's timing still applies. Watch the new weapon before settling into a rhythm. A catapult contest and a sword exchange may ask for different timing even with a compact control setup, and the visible scoreboard helps you keep track without inventing a separate tournament structure. Another collection of short two-player battles is 12 MiniBattles.
