UnThrusty Sword

---------------

The Sword was chilling with their monster friends in a lost dungeon until The Knight came in and took The Sword, thinking it was a great weapon to clear the dungeon with...

The Sword doesn't want to hurt anyone, so you need to make The Knight miss his attacks by rotating!

Made for GMTK 2023 by me and my friend (huge thanks for making the art)!

The theme is Roles Reversed, so i took the good ol' concept of dungeon crawler, BUT instead of playing as a hero, we are playing as their weapon that doesn't want to hurt anyone, so you need to mess up the attacks on purpose.

I admit, the gameplay might be a bit simple, there is no ending and it gets repetetive really fast once you figure out the correct angle for the attacks, but it was a fun concept i wish i'd manage to fully explore in time.

Anyway, you can always strive for perfection, but this is not the point of the Game Jam. It was fun to participate and hopefully you liked the concept!

If you are interested how i would explore the concept more, then here is some features i'd add to make the game more interesting:

• more attacks from The Knight, maybe even by generating them using IK
• make some monsters try to dodge the attack, which would actually put them in danger
• make some monsters defend themselves by attacking The Knight (in that case you need to protect him by blocking) or by using a shield (in that case you need to hit the shield)
• actual end game where you make The Knight run away, leaving The Sword in peace
