Swordswallower
A downloadable game for Windows
Swordswallower is a psych-goth action platformer where players traverse and fight only by throwing their massive enchanted sword. The player can’t jump, instead launching their sword into the environment and pulling themselves toward it with tremendous force.

muy buen juego espero pronto la version completa
i love this
i really liked this game the only problems i had with it are the dashes seem a little slow sometimes and i can also see the dunce cap being problematic in the future. otherwise really great game and atmosphere!
OMG This game is Awesome!
es un gran juego! muy interesante y divertido
Vey good game cant really think of anything to fix maybe optimize a bit
One of the best games ive ever played!
I hate the blue guy fight
good shizzle!
its a good game, i really like it :)
Only problem is that you can't save the game, closing it forces you to restart. Other than that, wonderful game.
This game is awesome - I just need controller support. Nice job!
This game is amazing, i only had issues with the sword dashing to be a bit slow and clunky but that could also just me being slow and clunky lmao
Uti, thank you for giving us an amazing presentation at WNS today!!!
awwww thank you so much!!! it was amazinggg meeting you guys :)
The game seems really fun and well made. You should add save points or checkpoints.
I don't have a mouse.
I used a trackpad for full demo. It was a pain but I STILL enjoyed the mechanic.
Such a good game! Can't wait to play the full version :3
Cant wait for full release this was a great game with a brilliant mechanic
really fun game not even gonna lie loved it and cant wait for more
Had a fine ol' time playing this on Linux (through WINE) once it figured out how to play at-speed. The final boss battle overwhelmed it and the game crashed but this is great. Haven't played a game demo this metal since "God's Gift" by SeventeenUncles (also here on Itch!)
Thanks so much for playing, glad to hear you enjoyed! :) Sorry to hear the boss crashed it (we haven't tested on wine or linux yet) but that shouldn't happen in the full release.
When will the full game come out?
Hey! It's going to be a long time unfortunately, probably a couple years. But we hope you stick around! Updates will be posted to our Twitter or Discord.
Melhor indie que já joguei!
Hey there! Just saw some gameplay of this and love the atmosphere you created, very inspiring! I have about 8 years of music production experience and I would love to produce your music/create the foley needed to push your atmosphere to the next level. If you are ever working on a new project I would love to amplify your mix!
Really nice and atmospheric, the sword mechanic is very fun when doing chaining movements and hitting enemies, exited for what else the game has to offer.
This was an experience and I really enjoyed it. Very atmospheric and stylistically beautiful. I enjoy the gameplay and the overall idea and I'm very excited to see the full game.
I had a ton of fun playing the demo and I'll definitely be looking forward to the full release! I also decided to record a playthrough:
That was rad as hell, the music is awesome, visuals are delightfully creepy and the character feels fantastic to control. Following for future updates, hope the rest of the project goes well
This was so much fun to play, looking forward to when it comes out fully!
i love the art style and the idea of using your sword to get around the world is fantastic, it makes exploring and fighting very enjoyable and i hope you keep working on it and build a bigger world to explore and discover
Kicks so much ass
BIP BOP BUB
What do you think about cabbage? ￣ヘ¯Such an awesome game, I love the fluidity of everything and how swift the movement and controls are. Unique take on a platformer, only issue is the camera being weird sometimes and lack of audio and mouse sensitivity slider. Overall great game 8/10
Also i'm doing speedruns of the game on my twitch channel so if you think you can beat my time of 4:35 then go ahead!

Oh yeah and when entering the new area with the two bird keys, it has a lag spike but im fine with it.
とても楽しいゲームでした。後半音の出ないバグが起こり、初め、主人公の効果音、次に音楽もならず、無音に、骸骨のボスで音楽が戻ってきましたが、致命的なエラーが出て、ゲームが終了してしまいました。セーブ機能があれば途中からやれるのに残念。
Damn! I loved the game's atmosphere, its very cool! its been a while since i've saw a game with a theme like this (one that i enjoyed at least). Loved the mechanics of using the sword to move, cant lie i missed the space to jump sometimes haha
overall its a pretty good game i give it 9\10
Hey thanks for playing and letting us know about that bug! glad you enjoyed it :)
absolutely phenomenal! can't wait for the full release!
