The Lone Sword

Actually a really solid game gameplay-wise, barring the soundtrack + really high-quality for a game made by a solo dev + a fairly novel idea as far as platformer games go + well-designed tutorials + physics-based gameplay and puzzles (they're always fun when done right) + fairly difficult - awful soundtrack in which all tracks sound monotonous and loop very quickly which made me mute the music in the game entirely half an hour into the game

Cool idea for a core mechanic, adorable art, impressive for a solo dev and with a pleasant story

Learned about this game from PAX East. Loved the demo, so got this day 1 and have been loving the full release so far!

Świetna, polska gra!

Pretty interesting puzzle game with a bit of combat. Gameplay feels very original. Overall reminds me of flash games like N. I was impressed that it supports ultrawide resolution very well - didn't expect that. Very well made on a technical side.

Very solid game which looks very polished. The gameplay may be a bit hard at the beginning (using mouse), but during play you can learn how to move and then how to attack enemies. Map design is good and placement of objects is reasonable and lack of minimap enjoyed me to explore levels. Design and artstyle looks good and it's very pleasant. About the music this is okay, nothing special but neither disturbing. Story may be a bit worse (or less good) part, but in my opinion it was done correctly. Summarizing, the strongest part is obviously gameplay and fight with enemies (I haven't had occasion to test harder mode but I assume it will be even better).

Peak gameplay and art

Awesome idea, great arcade movement - perfect for couch with a gamepad.

Full disclosure, the author is my high school friend (doxxing myself). I didn't participate in creating it though. I like The Lone Sword in general. It's a fresh idea (at least I haven't seen a game that controls this way before), the levels feel nice to explore, and the story isn't super high stakes and "pompous" but it also avoids self parody. It's short (the 2,5 hours I have at moment of writing the review are almost at the end) and could use some iterations around the idea, but what is there doesn't really get boring or samey. Maybe a potential sequel will develop it more. I'd still say it's worth the money, I spent 8 dollars on way worse results in my life. However, please please turn off the music when you launch it. It's, to say it lightly, not good. Luckily it's the only so painful part of the little sword's adventures
