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
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
great game, 3 issues
1 the physics kinda suck
2 the swords tip doesnt have collisions
3 WHY ARE WE SO DAMN SLIPERY
it falls into the category of difficult physics games so I think only the second issue you mentioned is a real problem
terrible comment, 1 and 3 arent even issues.
This one is different good to see
This was a pretty fun game to play. I've had a blast with this one.
