A "SwordFighting" game. Scaling Levels and difficulty.
You are the Lone Blade that guards the Night. Something sinister approaches...but it fights like mortal men would with blades. Parry and Strike!
Left click to slash. Right click to change the holding angle. Slash all the orbs to proceed to the next level and block the red slashes. One hit from a red slash will defeat you!
The original inspiration for the game was the one hit battles from Japanese samurai fights. The idea's evolved and digressed...but still is fun!
Thanks to the folks who let me know that the link's broken! I've updated both links to work correctly!
Like the original concept, its kind of like a mix of old school arcade games like Time Crisis with some sword fighting thrown in. Took awhile to get the hang of how the sword feels. I think some UI feedback on how many swings you made/missed or orbs you hit would help the player.

It's rather difficult to get a feeling for depth. I think that if you made it possible to move your head a bit, that would help a lot.
Yep, link works now :). Cool game and the ambient sounds are really good. I would suggest making it way faster though, like the sword follows your mouse directly or maybe it gets faster as you play more (and you could keep score of some sort)? The level seemed to restart when I hit a sphere? Not sure why? Still a cool game though, thanks!
I like the idea, and I think the gameplay could be great fun, however the controls are not really working. There's too much delay of the sword movement from the mouse, and the animation seems to start later than the mouse click.
I like the idea, I think it's not really well fit with the theme, but there's potential :)
Nice idea, but the controls are a bit broken, things disappear for no apparent reason and depth perception is virtually impossible. Would be really cool with some more polish.
Cool concept, nice game, I included this game in part 8 of my Ludum Dare Compilation series, if you'd like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/JK9Dz3oR_Xs

Renamed it by accident?
