Only one fighter will win the exchange in Shadow Fights. The description asks you to move quickly, punch and avoid incoming blows, and it frames the match as three rounds of fighting. You can play by yourself or select two-player play to face a friend.

The source names no special attacks, roster size or tournament ladder. That keeps the confirmed action focused on movement, punching and kicking. The instruction sheet distinguishes a blue player from an orange player, so both people can learn their own controls without assuming that the two characters have different hidden abilities. Shadow Fights puts the blue player on WASD, with F to punch and G to kick. The orange player uses the arrow keys, K to punch and L to kick; no additional defensive button is listed in the supplied instructions.

Watch the distance between the fighters before committing to an attack. Moving clear of a blow and then choosing your reply is a sensible way to practise the stated dodge-and-strike challenge, rather than relying on constant punching throughout all three rounds.
