Managed to beat it. Love the concept, though the execution needs some work. There are a lot of mechanics to the physics that the puzzles rely on that a player who's just jumping in won't immediately be able to reliably use (the way the player gets pulled by the sword while on the ground, the reliance on throwing momentum for several puzzles, etc). Lots of puzzles I solved without actually understanding what I did, and others I had an idea of how to do it, but couldn't execute without blind luck. I had lots of fun playing it, but I do think there needs to be a difficulty curve tweak, if nothing else.
Very original concept but way too annoying for me. I quit, I just can't get the hang of it and keep failing hopping over the gap at the third length. Gonna give it a few more tries but I'm getting far too annoyed to bother. The game and the whole mechanic works flawlessly though!
On level 4 I managed to come a far way up, but then got stuck with my sword in a corner, so had to respawn. On the attempt after that I went via the lower route, which felt far too easy, lifting myself up the ledge.
Ok, now I'm quitting, level 5, didn't manage to get up further than that annoying gap in the wall. Liked the game, but it's got way too steep of a learning curve for me.
Love the art, and the gameplay was pretty fun once the finer details of the controls were figured out. Felt like I should have been able to 'feather' the sword a bit more, but that didn't stop me!
Na, I am the dumb one here, How did you get past this part?:I am super stuck here, and can't figure it out. This is in length two by the way, so comparatively, you are very smart.
I got stuck on this one too, all you have to do is lay your sword on that first step and rotate the sword clockwise to launch yourself through the gap!
Very enjoyable experience, though I am stumped by all the people leaving because of stage 5, it's not too difficult to learn how to leverage your character in the right way. Great job and great game overall!
Really fun and has very unique mechanics and overall great concept. Though sometimes it felt a bit tedious and it felt like I was fighting the game most of the time but I can understand that that's the point. Would love to see this expanded into a bigger game if ever. Completed it in a good 18:35, I rate it a solid 8/10
My time's not anything special, but this was a fun experience! Some of the mechanics could've been tutorialized a bit better, like wiggling (the hints were a bit vague) but overall I think you really did a good job of making interesting challenges.
ABsolutely goddamn hate this game so so so much, but also 9/10 game really well made, but i do want to attack you for making it so extremely difficult on that last level. Also, one thing to make the final level not as painful, is to make the sword wiggle trick far far far easier to actually implement, and just in general, having a more consistent swinging speed for the sword would be make the game infinitely better.
Graphics look great, but I personally don't like the control scheme. I won't embarrass myself mentioning how little progress I made, but for me the frustrating mechanic of the mouse controlling the sword (and the whole flipping thing in general) didn't make it worth pursuing. Awesome effort, though.

I was so close...
I got stuck here. No matter how much I spammed the buttons, I couldn't get the sword to wiggle out of that position :(
Edit: Forgot I could press "R" to respawn at checkpoint. All good!

interesting concept but quite often I feel like I'm fighting against the controls. the amount of coordination and patience required feels unrewarding.
i spent 26 minutes in this game and i loved not evan 1 of them but to be onest once you put that deep sowrd in the dragon "ahhh" it's a good game
Funny and frustrating. 👍
this game has a good concept but I hate it

Power of posting, made it through.

Great game, had some fun between classes with it. My only concern is how oddly sexual the dragon is on the end screen...
Why can't I launch the game?
i cant ether
This was probably one of the most difficult tiny games I've every played. Nice work!
Very fun and challenging game! Yet sadly not as challenging as trying to find a girl who won't laugh at the very thought of my size...
Sad. :(
67:35
Made it to level 5 only to go out and grab food and come back to realize I was still playing the game.
Its been awesome!!! Great mechanic!
One issue: it has a large amount of input lag when holding a movement button
Very good game! The last part is a bit tedius though, very trial and error, otherwise, good!
i may be stupid but i cant even get past lenght 3 , i have no idea how im supossed to get on the plattforms with my sword being too short
Na, I am the dumb one here, How did you get past this part?:

you go the other path that happens with every sword
I'm stuck at the same level...

16:09 is my time. This is a great game and im glad i found it :).

I'm not necessarily proud of my time... but I did it.
My current best as of now is 5:37 I don't really feel like improving it, but I may! I really enjoyed the game and the music it was a fantastic game!
phallic
I AM SPEED
the power of playing getting over it back in the day
32:34! Very tricky game, but fun to play.
So hard! But worth it! Thanks! Played through it twice and it was still hard!

22:18! That last segment was really tricky, but overall this was a ton of fun!
29:16 that last one was odd felt like I was cheesing the physics(edging my body weight with the sword to reach platforms)
I haven't even played this but I like it already

Is there anyway to back to checkpoint without resetting the game? I'm stuck and can't do nothing...
i open this page but the game nothing show on screen. i use Win 7.

Hi rustysabre, there’s a few alternative control schemes in the description if you want to try again sometime.
looks pretty neat from what I've seen, but the game isn't
loading for me, so I haven't had the chance to play it.
prerformance is pretty poor, but the game design is solid!
I had to rip myself away from this game! Easy to learn and hard to master!
Loved this game, but the Bennet Foddy aspect of the last level frustrated me to the point of cussing honestly. Was a lotta fun though!
