That last area brings the game to a screeching halt. It doesn't make any sense whether you win or lose and the penalty for losing is too high. Immensely frustrating and vague.
Literally cannot figure out how to get past the first obstacle in the Length 5 area. The distances are too long and I keep falling back onto the reset point.
43:26. Man, that last level was tough! Awesome game. A simple and fun mechanic that was executed well. The art is cute too! Would love to see a longer version sometime. Great job!
Beat the game in 80:00. I enjoyed the playthrough but I have to say length 5 was more frustrating than it was enjoyable. It was odd for it to suddenly be so much harder. The good part of the challenge was solving the 'reach for it' but actually getting the controls to work with me and not be finicky was painful. By the time I was passed that, what remained (which wasn't as hard) just wasn't as fun.
first attempt was 26:07, feeling like it would’ve gone much quicker if my keyboard had A/S anywhere near each other! A couple parts felt like cheese, inching forward while dangling off a ledge by seesawing the sword (like ollie’ing a skateboard)
Very good, but there's one spot at the bottom right of the last section where you and sword can get permanently stuck until you reset if you get wedged between the wall and the floor. not sure how intentional that is...
78 minutes, but I need to take breaks with games like these. That said, I normally hate games in the "absurdly challenging platformer" genre (and I'm sure many people would laugh at me for categorizing this as such) but this was a lot of fun. The central mechanic is really clever and the lack of stakes kept my frustration at a minimum. Would love to see a full game like this!
The final level so tricky. I'm completely stuck on the bit after you cross the chasm back to the reset that tells you to reach for it. I can get the sword on either of the two outcroppings coming down from the ceiling on the left but I can't seem to translate that into enough distance to pivot the sword over to the right.
I like the mechanics though, it takes some getting used to the swing of the sword, but slowly wiggling your way forward on your sword is pretty fun.
Edit: Nvm, got past that bit <3 35 minutes, thanks for making this.

had to give up at area 5, too frustrating, but it was fun until that point. disappointed I didn't get to see the end.
Total time: Infinite

I quit.
Got stuck there for 40 minutes, you need to use lower path.

I should be working
But I've been beating my own record instead

Got about halfway through with the longest sword, hit r to go back to the checkpoint after falling, and everything freezes.
