Physics brawler · one thumb · no ads

A chain fighting game you flick with one thumb. Now in your browser.

Chainbreaker is a chain fighting game: two god-forged chains, simulated as real ropes. Flick, wrap, yank, sweep and slingshot through a cel-shaded arena where every hit is physics, not an animation. The first biome is free to play in your browser; the phone app is the same game, and what you unlock on one you own on both.

Kaldera · the dawn is three hundred years late

Five gods chained the sun. You carry the rope.

Kaldera once had a dawn. The titan Vurokh carried it across the sky in a cauldron of sunfire, and wherever he walked, tomorrow came: seasons turned, the old died, the young took their place. The five gods could not bear an ending. They chained Vurokh in the dark and built a ring of arena-cities on his back.

You are Vesk, Ninth of the Pit, a shackle-scrubber from the slave-pits under the Emberdeep Foundry. The relic chain they punished you with remembered you, and the night they fed your teacher to the melt you stole its twin heads, clamped them to your cuffs and walked into the fight card unsanctioned. The Cantor calls every bout. Five gods wait in five sanctums. Break them, climb to the Ossuary, and set the dawn loose.

“The arena is the weapon, little link. You’re just the punchline delivery.”

Ori, the old gladiator who taught Vesk
Five biomes, five gods

Every arena is somebody’s god

Emberdeep Foundry: Where Vesk was born a number. Pyrrakos, god of the work that never ends, runs the floor; his automaton guards the Foreman’s sanctum.

What it plays like

The whip is a rope with mass

whip fighting game

The whip is a rope with mass. Every strike is a verlet rope hitting bodies with mass. Wrap a leg and yank, sweep three foes off a ledge, or slingshot yourself across the lanes. The outcome is emergent, which is why it is funny.

ragdoll physics fighting game

Ragdoll slapstick, cel-shaded. Enemies tumble, pile up and burst into embers. Three depth lanes, five biomes with their own color scripts, bosses with authored phases. Two tones, a rim light and hard ink: a cartoon that moves.

one handed fighting game

One thumb is the whole control scheme. Flick to strike, drag to wrap, release to throw. On a phone that is one hand; in a browser it is a mouse or a finger on a touchscreen. No buttons, no combos to memorise.

kusarigama game

Chain and sickle, forged by gods. Relics change the chain's head: the Emberfang, the Salt Ledger, the Quiet's Edge. Each relic has its own 9-node tree earned in play, never bought.

Questions

Chainbreaker, in a browser and on a phone

Is Chainbreaker a chain fighting game or a whip game?

Both words describe it: two chains with blades on the end, swung like whips. The engine simulates the rope, so it wraps, sags and snaps the way a real chain would.

Can I play the chain fighting game in my browser for free?

Yes. The Emberdeep Foundry biome, its six arenas and its boss are free in the browser and on the phone. Biomes 2–5 are one purchase, the same price everywhere.

Does it work one-handed?

The whole game is one thumb: flick, drag, release. In a browser a mouse does the same job.

If I buy it on my phone, do I own it in the browser?

Yes. Open Chainbreaker on your phone, choose Play in your browser in Settings and scan the code on this site. Your save and your purchases come across.

If I buy it in the browser, do I own it on my phone?

Yes. Sign in with Google in the browser before you pay, then scan the code from your phone once; the purchase is on your phone for good.

Is this a ragdoll physics fighting game?

Every enemy is a ragdoll driven by the same physics as the chain, so hits send bodies flying in ways the designers did not author. No gore: foes burst into embers.

Does the browser version have ads?

No. Neither does the phone app. There are no subscriptions and no consumables.
