dude woke up and was like "im gonna make the most annoying fucking game of all time"
12:56 finish 3
I personally found the end bit (the yellow part) miserable. At the beginning it was fun despite the challenge, but it soon became miserable after the third length. The end cutscene was funny-ish, but sore hands are not fun. I enjoy hard games just not this one.
For my personal rating(not that it matters) is a 2.5/5.
Having a big sword has it problems
really hard but in a cuphead style way still really fun!
The amount of adult jokes is in the game is a bit too much
i cant get past length:3 :/
Steam was coming out of my ears
*is, I'm still trying to beat it
v sapphic
I HATE THIS GAME
Bro failed his speedrun :Skull:
discord user
obviously the best (i left it open while i did something else in the middle)
Best time by now, loved the game
MY BEST YET!
making me rage in a good way :D
FORS ATTEMPT WAS 37:SOMETHING 3RD ATTEMPT SUB 10. I'm PROUD OF MYSELF
finished in 15 min
Very nice game!
Awesome music, great premise, and a difficulty that a true masochist such as myself adores. 10/10
tuff game
great game. makes me want to jump off a bridge and keep playing at the same time lol
this game is gonna make me rage :D
Nah man, the end screen is crazy XD.
Game is too relatable
Took me a while to beat but it was a fun challenge.
I gave up at the "Understanding the pivot is key" screen with the Deepest Sword, but this was well made. I had fun until I didn't haha!
Could you make something like this with phaser or godot?
52min of my life
this feel good
Loved The Game A Lot

I give up bro
This game was weird lol
one must imagine sisyphus happy
I FINALLY BEAT IT
im stuck at this part :(
there's actually no way this wasn't intentional
what?
Also:
Is this good?
Nvm how's this:
dang dude submit this to the leaderboards
I mean its good but i'd have to record it, and do another run. Besides, I haven't played in forever (which is a month ago)
Also the top players are crazy, you should watch 1st place do his run. Even I have no idea how he does it!
the utter burden of having a massive peni
This is a fantastic game! Reminiscent to "Getting over it", you use your sword to go from platform to platform, though it is sometimes very frustrating. Fantastic soundtrack. 8/10
Good game :)
Fun Game, wish the last level was less annoying/hard, 23:08 first try :>
Great game!
Cool mechanics!
I loved this game! Solid 7/10...i was just super dumb to not understand how to play it lol
I feel so stupid I cant even beat the 2 length
nvm
