Deepest Sword

🎉 WE DID IT! 🎉
Thanks to your incredible support, we have officially reached our pledge goal of 100, which means Long the Dragon and the trusty Knight will be coming to life as real plushies! If you haven't secured your pledge yet, there's still time to join the first wave of supporters!
The campaign is still live, and every additional pledge continues to make a difference. The more support we receive for Long the Dragon, the more likely we’ll be able to create additional plushies, figures, merch, and other collectibles based on our games. It also helps support our continued work as a small indie team creating new games and experiences.
Thank you all for making this possible. You came through for us!

The game is challenging and very cool. But the dragons face at the end screen? ඞඞඞඞඞ
that's funny XD
freaky dragon..
freaky ahh game br
I was ragebaited towards the end because of the "reach for it" section like IT TOOK ME 5 MINUTES TO GET UP THERE AND I HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE MAP LOOKED LIKE??
I jad to do it 10 minutes... .
I HATE THIS GAME WITH A BURNING PASSION
though it is really cool and the mechanics are new and unique (at least for me) i hope your pillow is cold tonight.
its too hard for me :(
very fun 😼😼
I hate u speedruners with a burning passion. I refuse to believe that you can complete the game three times during my best attempt that didn't even reach the end. Aside from that wonderful game, rly brings out the Grinch in ya! :D
me too twin :(
i was playing it my laptop had gone off, i had to go from the start, i am bad at that game, but i went to the 5 lenght out of pure rage
One of the most classic jam games.
Legit fun
somehow the second area is the hardest???
27:35, not really my genre of game but glad to have played it!
this game is brutally hard
It took me 20 mins what about you (if you did finish it I assume you did)
i think it took me like 40 minutes and I never fully finished it
Refusing to stab the dragon in the last level cause she didn't consent... "Wait a minute" is a clear no!
its murder not funny time
murder should only be done between consenting adults
i cant pass the last par
48:43 10/10 would l o n g again
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
i stubbed me toe :<
well I have a headake do u have any ibuprofin?
ye they say only 5 mgs will do the trick... wait thats estrogen. (dont ask how i know)
YOU ARE VERY SUS MY FRIENDalso I didn;t noe witch one was ibeprofin so I just eated all of them and... and... OH FU- *Vomits all over the place* oh God that was chunky oh I hated tha- *Vomits even more* oh Lord that was spic- *Vomits deltarune chapter 5* OH HELL YEAH LETS GOOOOOOOO
26:04!!
getting a pussy AND a long sword? Damn.
this is the most beautiful comment i've ever seen
as a wise man once said (in english) moi connard salopes
I DID ITTTTT ALMSOT GAVE UP LIKE 5 TIMES
I Couldn't Pass The Other Level Because I'm So Angry So I Quit This Dumb Ass Game Forever And I'll Never Play This Shitty Ass Game Ever Again. Also The Gameplay Video Told Me To Teach How It Works But It Didn't Work For Me. So I Hate It Now, Also I Give It 1 Star For This Dumb Game...

61:40 HAHAHAH I ALMOST QUITTED :)

This is like an 8-bit Getting Over It and I like that
Demasiado dificil al pedo
Managed to get 4:08, I'll try to get sub 4.
Okay, just after saying that, I got 3:52.
One after that, 3:41.
Unfortunately, the streak ends.
