This is so funny :D

(1 edit)

4:53 let go

2:47 new record

5:32, Imma try to improve

nearly put the game down 10 times. glad i stuck with i

Great game, take me a lot of time but very enjoy it

47:16. I want to end myself

The amount of times i've cried... I LOVE THIS GAME

Annoying

7:00 minutes on the dot!

i would love to see mechanics like this used in a game where you have to kill enemies. could be a new kind of foddian game with waves or something and the difficulty would be from the difficult controls on the sword. 

(+1)

In my opinion there should be a more gradual increase in difficulty. It can be frustrating until you get the hang of the mechanics

this too is yuri

Holy Helll that's increadibly frustrating to complete using only W, D, and left and right arrow

(2 edits)

22:17 Fun. For my second run bcuz I don't think I even completed the game on my first. -_-;

truly a foddian game .. im on length 3 and its getting deeper and deeper lmao but great game!!! pray for me guys

(1 edit)

My first play was 50 (51:25 if we're being specific) minutes and it was pretty difficult, at least once you got to the 5th length. Overall though it was a really nice little experience to play and it definitely gave "Getting Over It" vibes

Getting Over It 2.0

9:56, lets go :P

im gonna kms bcuz of that game (love it, recommended, 10/10)

(+1)

I WROTE THAT COMMENT WHEN I WAS AT LVL 2 SWORD... AFTER COMPLETED GAME THAT TOOK ME 75 MINUTES I DO NOT RECOMMEND, UNBLESS YOU LIKE GOING THROUGH HELL (or you're actually a good gamer unlike me lol) DO. NOT. PLAY.

and now for real, that game was horiblly good, i will not play it again but no game made me feel so many emotions at once, laughing, crying, raging, a real emotion rollercoaster. Great way to spend time

35:17, wow, what a game

(-2)

Kill this game with fire. A game I was only going to play for 5 minutes ended up taking 50. My fingers hurt from holding the mouse so long, and my throat is sore from screaming into the air

51:16

i love thia game

Nice Sword Bro!

Wanna cum to my house

(-1)

Wat up my Nigas

Willpower.
Determination.

(+1)

Great game, very frustrating at times, but thats part of the greatness.

I left it overnight so my score is.... not great haha

(+2)

"overnight"

THATS 3 WEEKS

Nahhhh

That's only like 8 hours

(I left it longer than that, it must have paused itself at some point)


Imagine i left it for 3 weeks haha

Oh wait, I confused minutes for hours..
