This screen is yours, don't let that other swordsman take it from you and knock him out! (Don't worry, you're invincible because I'm bad at working with collision detection...)

Controls: Left and Right arrow keys!

I'll probably try to fix the hitboxes over the week...

I sort of just ran into the first enemy and made him leave the screen. Then I realized I could swing my sword (up/down), but ... no more enemies appeared. I guess I beat it :) Yay!

This game is pretty good but it being impossible to lose takes away from some of the fun. I did read the top so I hope you fix the collision :)

Really simple game. It seems a bit too easy to push the enemy off the screen. Since you're invincible maybe some kind of resistance mechanic where you get tired if you push too long would add a bit more challenge. I really like the music and the concept of "the screen is yours" is really cool. Well done!

Interesting concept, should possibly be pursued further.

Very simple game, would be more interesting if there are more enemies.

The sword slashing is nicely done. Keep working on it!

I couldn't figure out what was going on. :l

Then I went back and read that I was invincible.

Hi there. Like the animations, but game breaking bug, just ran to right hand side and attacked for about 5 seconds - all mobs dead and "Victory" in middle of screen. Needs more work, but looks great so far.
