  • GDD The GDD was kept simple. I would like to see more details and the team's thoughts about each point, as well as comments on art and sound design and a development timeline. Images for the mechanics would be a nice addition. Gameplay Amusing gameplay. Connecting the nerves and avoiding the muscle so that bright idiot can survive was a great idea. Now I felt a conflict between the commands. Having an automatic panning made the screen slide without control and right into a wall or muscle and was very disorienting. It would feel better if the camera was locked until moved with the right click. Art I loved the art style. The first portion made me expect a beat-up and was very well animated, and the second portion felt like the inside of the adventurer. Sound design At the time of this review, there was no BGM implemented. The SFX was minimalistic, focused on the intro portion. I would like some effects on the puzzle section too. Last thoughts I found the gameplay to be surprising; I was not expecting a puzzle game, just a simple beat 'em up. You got me good there, and it gave me a strong feeling that I am the weapon trying to control that musclehead, not the other way around. Congratulations! Great job.

Summarise your game!
In swords and fools you play as a sword who just wants to escape a dungeon, but you are wielded by an adventurer who seeks glory. You as the player must solve the issues that arise because of this.

Please explain how your game fits the theme:
In this game I took the theme very literally because you are a sword.
