Got it down to 17 minutes!

Imma try this one more time.

This took me 103 minutes :/ Had fun lol, ill probably play again sometime 

Speedrun

I like how DEEP the story got, although the journey was HARD and LONG, I'm glad that everyone in the end got their happy ending. 😏 Jokes aside, fun game managed to beat it around 30 mins. The characters and story was funny, gameplay was a bit challenging, but not as difficult as people make it to be. Good game, definitely recommend trying it out! 👍

Your game is a very interesting experience. I didn't imagine the Physics based platforming with the Sword to turn out as entertaining as it was. At first I was frustrated, but it soon turned into enjoyment. I am just disappointed the game is so short (and occasionally a bit clunky).    

7.5/10

9:50, god this game is fun, I read the other comments, I must be insane

Very hard but good game

Best time.
