Yes
Summarise your game!
Soar through a charming medieval village as a mysteriously animated sword with an inexplicable grudge against glowing, magical pumpkins. Master the art of aerial combat and destroy enchanted gourds before time runs out!
Controls:
Mouse to aim
Left Mouse Button (LMB) to soar through the air
Click LMB mid-flight for a powerful double jump!
Why are you a sword? What's the deal with these pumpkins? The answers await those who explore this whimsical world... and for the truly adventurous, a secret lies hidden deep in the icy mountains.
Please explain how your game fits the theme:
You're literally a sword! Instead of fighting with a weapon, you ARE one - launching yourself around the map and stabbing into the ground and building to traverse the peaceful medieval setting. There are other connections to the theme in the story that's revealed throughout the game, but I'll let you discover those as you play!
Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
I started the jam with a group but it fell apart a couple of days in. I decided to jump back in 4 days before submission time so there are still quite a few bugs, especially with menu navigation. Please enjoy the game!

Very gorgeous art style, nice audio. The concept is nice but the control just feels completely random which is too frustrating. I couldn't get a single squash on my first run.
