Dogeza Championship

You have offended someone. Again. The only way out is the deepest, most sincere apology bow of your life — the dogeza — performed before a panel of three professional apology judges.

How to play

• PLAY from the menu (or just press SPACE).
• A scandal appears ("You broke the copier"). You are at fault. You are always at fault.
• Press and HOLD SPACE to kneel and lower your forehead toward the tatami. The marker climbs the DEPTH meter.
• RELEASE inside the green band to plant a respectful forehead. Dead-center = PERFECT DOGEZA!
• The pale zone around the band is a sloppy bow — scored, but your combo dies of shame.
• Outside that: too shallow is insincere, too deep is a faceplant. Either way — GAME OVER.
• A faster clean bow earns a speed bonus. Judges love efficiency.

The gauntlet

Endless rounds against an escalating roster of the offended: your coworker, your boss, the client, the CEO, and finally The Emperor (every point doubled — if you survive). Each round the green band shrinks and the marker speeds up. The client makes your knees jitter.
