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:
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
This one is different good to see
This was a pretty fun game to play. I've had a blast with this one.
I enjoyed this game.
Second time ever:)
the dragon reminds me of the dragon from merrivius arlokk comic
it says you could play in phone browser, but the screen isnt in the right place, its glitched for me and i cant play it correctly, only like 10% of the screen show and its at the bottom even when i flip my phone, can you try to fix it?
bro this game is actualy ahrd i cant make it to the end with the golden sword. NERF THE LAST LEVEL WITH THE GOLDEN SWORD!!
It is like you are fighting for your life. Not enjoyable
The reset button is there for a reason(r)
imma be so real when i say i didnt see it woops (╥﹏╥)
That can happen right in the start with that length (Right as you enter the cave)
有一点难
Good game
This is good stuff
cool game, its hard
Tried it for the first time, times:
1. 38:00
2. 15:22
3. 9:41
Not gonna try again but it's fine. Love the design
good game bro, was fun
yes the world would indeed be a better place without this abomination
abysmal. stupidly difficult to the point where if you are a SINGLE pixel off you fail. the developer sbould quit game design permanently and instead join the field of customer service, as they clearly excel at and enjoy pissing people off.
Maybe you just suck at platformers cause most of them are like this
i have beaten Celeste many times and have run through Spelunky more times than I can count. Not all platformers are like this, this one is just absolute garbage.
it's supposed to be hard lol
What are you doing then because this is way easier than celeste
I've played Celeste and I love this game. I don't understand what you hate abt it.
Legit skill issue lol, took me 30 min. Was fun. They're supposed to be like that
Bro, it ain't that hard
how did u manage to pull your hate of basic ppl who jst try to get by into an itch.io game of all places? thats lowk embarrassing
Did u just arrive from a COD lobby
Great little game with plenty of double entendres to go around. Who knew you could get so much longer in 10 minutes or less?
this is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. THIS IS FIRE THAT HAS BEEN LIT. THIS IS BETTER THAN CHICKEN JOCKEY. THIS IS BETTER THAN MOBIUS. I FRICKIN LOVE IT
i belieeved in quagmire and it worked outtttttt <#
