This is a prime example of why "Two Button Controls" was a bad theme idea. These controls are *horrible*, and make what might otherwise have been a pretty fun game completely unplayable. I would have better feedback for the other aspects of your game if the piss-poor controls didn't completely domineer the gameplay.
I liked your idea. Maybe if you use "D" to rotate in four different directions, "A" performs attack, and "A + D" to move the character would be a little more under control. Overall I agree!
Alright, I'm going to attempt to rebut Stuntddude's statements. He's acting like it's the end of the world, and has no sense of diplomacy. The game took a little getting used to, but was fun and a little silly and not at all unreasonable for anyone who's willing to practice for more than 30 seconds. It seems to me that the name is referential to QWOP, and supposed to feel a little out of control. I was fine with it.
If you weren't going for the "out of control" feel, I would suggest that the turning rate be slowed down slightly to allow for more precise angling. Perhaps double-tapping a direction could do a faster turn, but the again, complicating things may not be for the best.
I would suggest, however, that the player's sword disapppear for a shorter amount of time after a hit.

The graphics are pretty nice and the fighting might actually be fun if with proper controls. ;-)
