İts goodest 2d game.

Do you not care about linux users?

30 minutes better on my second run...not bad(I'll keep trying)

Se me hizo corto, pero es una buena idea. Solo le hace falta una vuelta de tuerca más, hacer personajes más carismáticos por el camino, un poco más extenso, algún minijuego con el herrero para alargar la espada, que el otro "brille" la espada, cosas así con doble sentido le vendrían muy bien. Ah, y que esté traducido. De todas formas 8/10 por ser entretenido.

i wish i was the dragon

9/10

6m walkthrough speedrun

completed in 25 minutes yay

Really nice but so stressful!

great game! The controls are annoying, and that's part of the fun! I'm learning to speedrun it; my current best time is 6:59, but I know I can get better :D

solid 8.5/10, especially for a jam game.

Really fun game! Came back after some years, it's still a lot of fun. Spent most of the time in that jump from the last level, but I enjoyed it all nonetheless.

28:11 I guess there wouldn't much of a game if the controls didn't suck. The draining frustration is the "fun" of your game and many others like it. Congratulations on going beyond making a game challenging into exasperating by making the controls a drain psychologically and physically. At least this isn't a children's dumbed down fantasy like the Mario games.

you took 35:35 of my life hahah

30 min i said to my mom just let me finish this game but then at length 5 there was so many more things i thougt this game was easy anyways very original and a very good game

(+2)(-2)
I hate this game, I hate the creator of this game, I hate how the female dragon says that my sword is tiny, I hated the struggling I went through, and I hate the show offs in the fucking comments, I'm not play this game ever again. (But it was good)

sore loser

Does a loser give up?

I hate you so much... 10/10 game....

I enjoyed playing this game, but it's just too hard for me. It's just impossible to do with largest sword - at least for me. I'd have to spend probably about an hour to figure it out on my own, which I just didn't feel like doing it lol - I struggled as soon as hardest section "attacked" me.

Other than that; nice and great game. I liked the fact you could do on 2-3 swords before the biggest one tricks that trivialized some cave parts.

Length 5 was so evil but apart from that good game

How do we pass this?? Otherwise its a good game

You need to flick jump from below using sword

When you wiggle your sword, you can move yourself forward bit by bit, that's how I did it. Takes some practice, as with everything in this game ;-)

I did bad I got 6:48 my best is 5:23 minutes

nice my first try was 19:19

Super fun game, made me retry and retry again!

first time playing, and in under 20 mins! nice game.

Quick little softlock

it took me 608 min and i thought i was so good

That's like, over 10 hours ?!?

ik

Wow, just ... wow ;-) That's next level dedication ;-)

the game is hard but it adds to the experience. all in all love it 

kinky, i like it.

Love this game took me a while but i slowly got better 10/10
