Our take on Lotion samurai
The defining mechanic is movement without ordinary walking: the lotion-covered samurai must kick walls to build momentum, slide through attacks, and reach each exit.
What is Lotion samurai?
Control a samurai coated in lotion while attempting to escape a ninja castle across 6 stages.
The lotion prevents normal walking, so movement relies on kicking walls, using momentum, and sliding past enemy attacks. Contact with enemies lets the samurai cut them while continuing toward the exit. The game focuses on learning each stage’s layout, refining acceleration techniques, defeating ninjas, and completing escapes at high speed. Clear times can be ranked, with competition against samurai players worldwide. Its central challenge combines slippery movement with route knowledge and timing, turning each castle escape into a race for faster completion.
How Lotion samurai plays
