Evil has struck the land. The Vorpal Blade has long awaited a Hero worthy of wielding it, but none has arrived. To protect the land from monsters, the Vorpal Blade must channel its immense power through the first human to take hold of it, an adventurer far in over his head. In the end, who wields whom? 

The Sword is in control now! Protect the frail human who thought to control you, and strike down as many foes as you can!

CONTROLS

M1: Move towards mouse cursor, slicing apart all enemies in your path, and dragging your vulnerable human behind you. 

M2: Turn sideways for a wider slower attack that can also destroy projectiles.

This was really cute and fun! Great work!

This project has to be the most fun I've had in all the GMTK 2023 games so far!! I absolutely love weaving through enemies. The motions all felt super fluid, everything about this just injects seratonin into my brain. The pixel sprites were just perfect for the vibe, the death sprites were fun and satisfying, and human durability as a play on health is just incredibly funny. Awesome job!! Found myself replaying this one a couple of times!

Wow! That's such high praise I can't believe someone loved our hard work this much. Thank you for playing!
