It would be cool if you could join your spinning swords together for a special attack!

Put 'er ThereNeat game! I like how you can send a sword out and keep it in place as a sort of defensive barrier, though I wish it were easier to bring the sword back. Right now you have to place the sword on top of yourself and wait a bit to pick it up, so perhaps instead you could press the spacebar to automatically retrieve it? I like how the enemies can sever your connection to your sword, though, forcing you to enter the fray to get it back.

Sausage Linked!This was a really cool little idea, kind of like a more action-based tower defense where you place your sword and then kind of use it as a shield to stand behind to avoid the zombies, rather than more actively and mindlessly slashing your way around. The lighting effects and art gave it a very stylish look while still being immediately understandable. Great job!
By the way, we played your game on our stream last night!

Nice HaulThanks soo much for playing the game!! and I really liked the stream! BTW You can actually keep holding the buttons and drag the mouse the swords will follow it! well you just touched the area so thy remained still but we made the swords to follow mouse position until you hold the button! :D I hope now you can beat your own high score again hehe and more fun thing is you will encounter much more types of enemies as you continue through the game! ;)
Had a weird bug where the Orange sword was picked up but couldn't be controlled anymore.
But I enjoyed it overall. I think the only thing is that I'm not entirely sure how to best use the two swords since I mostly just held a mouse button down at all times.
Good art, cool idea, and executed well. Well done!

Lead The WayThis is a good entry!
The only thing that bothered me was that the ending came very aprupt. I was expecting an endless top down pve with stronger and stronger waves and suddenly I win out of nowhere :S
I love how you are able to lose the weapons and have to collect them again to survive. That's a very great interpretation of the theme.
The enemies being designed to steal your weapons fits well with the overall concept and the fact that you managed to create different enemy types in such a small time period is impressive.

Cat on a RopeReeaaaly like it! Nice twist to a top-down shooter overall. The mechanic is very engaging to me!

Carry me, please!This is such a brilliant concept, I loved the swords' ropes get cut off if there was an enemy in the way, I wish there was a retrieve button to get the swords back instead of having to walk through them, but I really liked this.

Gancho BondReally nice pixel art and fun to throw the tethered swords around! Clean game, good job!

Goodbye, Miss CyanideI really like the concept. I did find that I would be unexpectedly disconnected from my weapons for no obvious reason, which almost always led to instant death regardless of health. When that wasn't happening though, it was an enjoyable game. The moving of swords around independent of your character is interesting and a unique spin on similar games. Impressive!

Windy DaySword boomerangs!! This was really fun to go around and kill dudes with the fancy effects. The animations were super fast and smooth and the sound effects fit really well too! I think if the dungeon leaned into being more linear and had a story, or if it leaned into the arcade and had more powerups and such, it would be an absolute banger!

Slider - Jam VersionFun game! I especially love the art and music, plus the gameplay was really fun! Great submission :D
Submitted
TransgenesisSuper cool and fun to play! However, why do I keep moving right if I'm not pressing any keys?

Jumping the GunReminds me of Sword-chucks! :D Nice concept! Would like to see more sword throwing action
