!Disclaimer - The WEB version of the game is simply there for people with Mac OSX or Linux systems. Many of the core features are intact, but bugs are not and will not be fixed. Your experience of the game may not be accurate. For this reason the WINDOWS version is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. Thanks for your understanding.
Known WEB bugs:
+ No Audio and Music
+ Lag
+ Wrong UI and text configurations

[Post-compo] Thanks for your comments everyone!
Just wanted to say something about my take on the theme.
Unconventional has synonyms! Some of which are "rare" and "uncommon". I decided that that fit into a loot drop system.
Yes, I admit swords are a pretty mainstream weapon, but swords that summon cats, swing three times or heal you mace them distinctive and atypical.
=====================================================
You are a hero in the world of Pifft, according to the game's wiki. You are a boy, who has spent too much time levelling and grinding in his favourite action-RPG. In fact you are the #2 player on the leaderboard (after that blasted pro-league player, who is a/an 1337#@x0r). For this feat of strength the developers of the game have tweaked the mobs to only drop legendary items!
Use these items to grind through the waves of monsters, lasting 30 levels, with ever increasing difficulty. But you will not be alone! Using the power of the swords you will have different abilities, stat boosts, special moves, companions (pets) and many more! Will you find the best sword and conquer level 30?
=====================================================
The first 5 people to send me a screenshot of reaching the end get a special gift from me <3.
Send them at : matglishev[at]gmail[dot]com
Good luck!
=====================================================
Controls (features in game tutorial screen):
LMB - Swipe
RMB - Use special ability (if present)
MMB - Swap sword
R - Restart
F - toggle fullscreen
=====================================================
Known Bugs:
+ Fullscreen may change UI (toggling it on and off once normally fixes this problem)
+ Text may render incorrectly
+ The game features automatic resolution detection, I have tested on other computers and it seems fine, but it is prone to bugs due to lack of testing
+ Monsters may stop spawning at some point, rendering the game unplayable. Probably due to me using a random amount of time for the next wave spawn, which can take up to 3-5 minutes.
=====================================================
Plans for improvement:
+ More swords
+ More Abilities
+ More status effects
+ More enemies
+ More tilesets?
+ more...More...MORE!!!
=====================================================
Hope you enjoy the game! It was developed partially on stream, so thanks to anyone who watched! Also thanks to the people on IRC for their tips. And a special thanks to Anna and Aya for stuff!
