guys i don't think this game is just about killing a dragon... XP

hahha this game is insane! 25:06

Didn't know it was available on browser! First time for a record of 25:19!

very fun game i love it

i fucking hate this game. mind you this took me several days with a million breaks so I wasn't actually on the game for three hundred minutes

8:52

Annoying

I am literally stuck in the golden section

10/10

"oh, so deep..."

such inspiring words

(1 edit) (+3)

i've been doing this for half an hour and the felt extensive emotional pain for last second playing this

7.75/10 but i need therapy now

(-16)

I don't even have time for the game because it's such crap, even EA games are better made than games made by idiots!!!

Horrible level design and more. 0/10

(+2)

Is that you Jaffe?

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!

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!
