Run jump, jump again, and jump a third time as you try and fail to survive the onslaught from below! Your enemies will fall instantly with the right attack, but so will you.
CONTROLS: Move around with WASD or the arrow keys, and slash your sword with the Left mouse.
The game can be beaten in less than a minute, if you are fast enough. Since people have mentioned it, I'll note that I actually tried to make the game longer, but it lost a lot of urgency, and deaths became a lot more frustrating. Health was actually going to be added in the original design, but I started off with 1hp to make sure the character died correctly, and other things were bigger problems. Oh well, it's a jam. 8)

Really cool game! Pretty unforgiving killing the player in one hit. The sword swinging also becomes problematic when you hit the border and the camera stops moving, but I don't suppose there's a way to prevent it. Great concept!
I agree with Armanky that the one-hit-death is a bit harsh. Letting the player take a few hits would've made it more enjoyable, but it was still fun. Nice choice of music.
Love the graphics style. The game itself was pretty hard and I wished I had some measure of progress to ward off the frustration when I died. Cool game though, good work.
the slash is nice though I would often click outside the screen by accident.Movement was also pretty good though sometimes I would get stuck under the ice.
Very difficult action. Not necessarily a bad thing, but not my cup of tea. For what it's worth, I think the tentacle eye stalk killing me with a laser was when I said, "Nope, I'm done." It was a cool effect, but pushed me over my limit of what I felt like handling.
When the game started, I thought I was just on the main menu, trying to figure out how the game started. I did like that the main menu was "live", during that time when I thought it was just a menu. :-)
The music restarting jarringly when the level restarted was noticeable.

Hard but beatable game. The controls and the difficulty feel quite polished. Well done!
Anyways... I really enjoyed my trials. Great game :)
