One Sword

My first LD game submission!

In this game, you only get one button to control both your movement and attack. Hold SPACE to brake. When you come to a stop, you will swing your sword!

Your character constantly accelerates, and you must time your brakes correctly.

Try to outrun the purple wall of danger and reach the end!

Barely missed the deadline on this one. As a consequence, there is no sound! I would also have liked to have more enemies + levels. I'll probably polish this up in the future.

Very fun! Difficult too! Sounds would have been great but I like it nonetheless.

It's quite difficult to get the timing right, but it's fun.

The play looks like it would be fun but it was very hard to tell how the braking/sword swinging mechanism was working. I died a LOT and didn't seem to be improving. Maybe add a "speed" bar that helps you judge how long before you are stopped?

Good game! Pretty well-executed with a unique concept.

This game has changed the way I play this game. When I first played this game I slid to a stop and enjoyed this game to its fullest. I will be the same for never after this experience. Good work as always bluecorner.

Very original, played for longer than expected, has a good amount of difficulty.

Great use of theme in the mechanics! Would be awesome with some polish :)

The use of one button for so many things was pretty cool! Was very difficult but had fun! Just needed some fast paced music to make it feel complete, but oh well, time restrictions.

A good mechanic but you still need to improve it a bit. Other than that a good game :)
