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
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! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/962969976
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
i love the game its very fun and addicting i hope to play the full version of it soon. i did found 1 bug in the video i got stuck inside of the wall but it just happen accidently overall this game reminded me of hollow knight
The movement feels great, the sword feels great, the artwork is great, the effects are great, the sound is great, the music is great. The only downsides I can see as of now are the two bosses included in this demo. I think their movement and overall play style is a bit clunky, but I'm sure that's easy to fix. Really looking forward this game's full release.
This game is fantastic! Like others have said, the controls are just so satisfying to use. I could see this game being a big speedrunning game for sure, so much potential with the great responsiveness on the sword. Definitely going to be recommending this to others, and going to be following the updates for sure! :) SPOILERS:
I loved the little scene where you fight the second ghost bull thing, really felt satisfying to have that work out so well <3
If you are reading this don't - click the dowload button above and try this game out! It gave me half an hour of pure joy and I would love for the project to be developed further!
this game is verry well made a little misleading at first but definetly worth checking out the machanics are satisfying and the art is amazing it could be better but its still very interesting the story is good but confusing and i love that its not just told to you outright like for example (small spoiler) theres a thing that tells you its a cartagripher but by using the map he gives you its very clear he was lying and he just wants to get out of the place so he drew a very crude map to try and find a way out then used that to bribe you to help him if you want to see my video on this game here it is
i tried not to ruin to much so feel free to watch before playing it but definetly get this if you like platformers and movement in games and if you checked out my video thanks and be sure to let me know what you thought of it in the comments
Really fun game, reminds me of old browser flash games but with a lot more dept to it, the story, or at least what we get to see in this demo looks interesting and the gameplay is dynamic and fun even after dying multiple times also very good level design.
Really Good Several Design Point: 1. the sword will return automatically when it fly outside the screen. 2. the player can't jump which is beneficial to level design and focus on using dash 3. the dash to sword can tuned by the time of holding left shoulder , and the player can stay on the wall with this very intuitive big sword on the wall. Very Inspiring!
Thanks so much for playing! For right now if you get 50 deaths and talk to him its just a special thanks to everyone who helped us and play tested, but we've got some tasty tasty plans so stay tuned!
thank you so much for playing!! we're working full time on it and hope to release next year, so if you want to know when the full game's out follow our twitter at @swsw_game
This was brilliant! I really liked the atmosphere of the game itself, the music was really fitting and I found the variety of being able to use the same couple moves for a bunch of different obstacles to be really clever and fun!
no! its in active development at the moment, this is just the first bit of the game. we havent started posting on twitter yet but the acct is here if you want updates: https://twitter.com/swsw_game

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。

Great game. Punitive, but fun. I hope it is still being worked on, it has great potential. Kudos to you!

I did not expect to find a game of this quality on this site!
It is fun to play, the movement is perfect, the only downside is the music, its really repetitive.
Great game. Really frustrating but its good.
pls continue to work on it its amazing
A+++ game. so much fun. Can't wait for the final release
nicely done! Found you through the NYU Game Center Incubator.
Really liked game, little bit lagged on 10 years old laptop.
Really like concept, graphics, music and atmosphere, wish it was longer.
Got stuck in the wall on first playtrough.
Really fun. I'd love to play the full thing once I get a proper mouse.
Spoiler: Does anyone know what happens if you reach 50 deaths and talk to the guy? I accidentally hit the end before testing that.
Thanks so much for playing! For right now if you get 50 deaths and talk to him its just a special thanks to everyone who helped us and play tested, but we've got some tasty tasty plans so stay tuned!

thank you so much for playing!! we're working full time on it and hope to release next year, so if you want to know when the full game's out follow our twitter at @swsw_game
Really enjoyed this!
Very nice game.
awesome game! very fun
Swordswallower is a cool platformer with an heavy blade to carry!
This was brilliant! I really liked the atmosphere of the game itself, the music was really fitting and I found the variety of being able to use the same couple moves for a bunch of different obstacles to be really clever and fun!
Best game ever made.
Is the game fully finished and needs no more updates from now on?
no! its in active development at the moment, this is just the first bit of the game. we havent started posting on twitter yet but the acct is here if you want updates: https://twitter.com/swsw_game
