Use of the limitation
The sword pins enemies in place, and forces the swordlock to stand still while throwing or casting. Because the enemies are always moving and the environment is tightly closed, this creates the main gameplay complexity.

Two chocolate chip cookes! And two full dominos pizzas. I have really bad stomach reflux now. Rip.

This was super cool. The hits felt nice, and calling out your sword and a bunch of enemies from behind was super fricking nice! Same for the artstyle and the music, great work!
Gosh this was very cool. I loved the art especially and the gameplay felt quite polished for such a short time...great sword mechanic too . Loved it!
Such a smooth and fun game to play. the animations are cute and fluid, the controls are tight, and I love the mechanic so much. It feels like wielding Thor's hammer. The only issue I could find is that for most of the levels you don't have to fight the enemies if you know where the exit is. You can just make a beeline for it and damage boost your way there.
Cool concept and art! The beetle is kinda cute
Very cool game with nice mechanics and smooth movement. No wonder this game is currently one of the most popular. And... there's ralph.
this is honestly SOOO fun omg. the movement feels nice and i love the mechanic of getting the sword back after throwing it since it can cleave through enemies as they run toward you!! plus im a big fan of the style :3 the art is v nice and the color palette is great
This was fun! Great artwork and good enemy design prevented me from running past them to the goal.
I liked it. It felt smooth and polished. I found I could beat every level, especially the ones with the red blobs, by running through and avoiding them until I touched the hard drive. Great game though!
Satisfying game, like the mechanics, they are fun and work well, the parallax gave me some nauseas xD but amazing entry
This was an incredibly satisfying game to play and look at! The combat felt a lot more polished than I was expecting and there was even a boss fight. Really good job.
Realizing that I could damage enemies by calling the sword back was so cool!
Very fun game, loved slashing enemies on their back when calling back my sword, also the solarpunkish setting is nice.
The concept is very nice, but the game is very repetitive.
Very nice idea, love it when you hit a mob from back and when it comes back it hits the other ones in front.
I really like the concept of the sword returning. I felt like Thor. Very fun.
