How to play Shield Stand
Touch controls: Tap anywhere near a side of the ring to raise the shield on that side; the nearest of the four sides is chosen, so no small target has to be hit. The shield stays up for a moment after the tap so quick taps still block, and pressing and holding keeps it up until you let go.
Keyboard controls: Hold an arrow key or W A S D to raise the shield on that side and release to lower it, Space lowers the shield at once, P or Escape pauses, R restarts and M toggles sound.
Screen: This game works best in any orientation.
About Shield Stand
Shield Stand is defence without a weapon. The stander waits in the middle of a ring, and strikes come from the four sides. Each strike is announced by a warning chevron on the side it will come from, and the only answer is to have the shield on that side when it lands.
The shield cannot simply stay up. Raising it drains stamina every second and the bar refills only while the shield is down, so the game is a rhythm of holding and letting go. Three strikes that get through end the run, and standing the full ninety second wave finishes it with the stand intact.
