Reeaaaly like it! Nice twist to a top-down shooter overall. The mechanic is very engaging to me!
Thanks so much!! But its not a top-down shooter, its Top-down Ranged Hack n slash haha
Fun little arcade game! Great pixel art (especially that title screen?! beautiful!) and it feels good to play - nice work!
This is such a brilliant concept, I loved the swords' ropes get cut off if there was an enemy in the way, I wish there was a retrieve button to get the swords back instead of having to walk through them, but I really liked this.
Really nice pixel art and fun to throw the tethered swords around! Clean game, good job!
I really like the concept. I did find that I would be unexpectedly disconnected from my weapons for no obvious reason, which almost always led to instant death regardless of health. When that wasn't happening though, it was an enjoyable game. The moving of swords around independent of your character is interesting and a unique spin on similar games. Impressive!
This is really awesome! The visuals and music are great! And the gameplay, even though there's a few bugs here and there (like my right sword refusing to move :( ) I had a lot of fun playing it!

Sword boomerangs!! This was really fun to go around and kill dudes with the fancy effects. The animations were super fast and smooth and the sound effects fit really well too! I think if the dungeon leaned into being more linear and had a story, or if it leaned into the arcade and had more powerups and such, it would be an absolute banger!
Haha Thanks! Well we are glad that you found this game fun to play!! with the power ups and such things we thought to implement but due to lack of time we were unable to do so!! hehee!
Very cleaver - Like the idea of the swords.
Cool game! Action is very stylish. I like it :)
Thank you!
Fun game! I especially love the art and music, plus the gameplay was really fun! Great submission :D
Thanks for that! Glad you enjoyed it!
Super cool and fun to play! However, why do I keep moving right if I'm not pressing any keys?
Thanks for reporting such a bug we will surely update it 😁 Glad to know you liked the game!
Dope idea! A harder mode with faster movement (including enemy movement) would be amazing once you get used to the swords :D
Keep going
Thanks Julien, we are glas to know it! About harder mode we will surely make one if we decide to work on project even after game jam! 😁
Reminds me of Sword-chucks! :D Nice concept! Would like to see more sword throwing action
Thanks for your review! Well We will work with the project if like it hits a nice rank hehe glad you will play the game when we arrive at that stage heh!
This was a very cool concept! I am not entirely certain of the reason why the sword gets unlinked but the whole concept is cool!
Well thats because when the player throws off his sword the arms becomes weak and gets cut and the sword get unlinked ;)
Wow this was really cool!
Thank you so much!
I love the hit effect, it is soo satisfying! The gameplay super interesting but it is a bit hard to correctly use both swords.
Really fun, I love the music a lot. This could be fun as an RPG, you should polish it.
Also if you go to the bottom right, there's a small room where you can hide and block the entrance with your swords :P
Great Game, interested to see this game expanded after the jam with items and abilities. Before the stars come, you're just incentivised to camp in a corner. As stated there are some balance issues but overall, well done!
Thanks for your opinion! We sure will make the game a lot better if the game sounds like a success! Please wait until then :D
Great job! It was super fun, great concept, but as the others pointed out, got overwhelmed very quickly. Loved the music
Hey thanks for your review! Well as we are also concerned about the game being overwhelmed too quick so we thought of ideas like merchant to trade the no. of skulls and many things more beucase of lack of time we failed to do it! :P
