Swish, the Swordfish (Jam version)
-CONTROLS-
Movement: Left and Right arrows
Attack: [X] key
Block: [C] key
Jump: [Spacebar]
-ENEMIES-
Crab: These simple-minded fellas just meander about, clipping away at any blue sword-wielding fishies in their path.
Puffer: Hides in the water, and leaps out when an enemy approaches. Watch out for its spikes! You can either try to strike this foe before it protrudes its spikes, or you can block the spikes and then counterattack!
Pike: A fleet-footed soldier who will charge at you and attempt to impale you with its spear. You can block the spear to stun them, or you can jump over their spear and slash them across their face!
Shark: Blocks your path with a mighty shield fitted with a sharp spike. Jump over the shield and aim for its face, and try not to let it spike you!
Starfish: An assassin who excels in the ninja arts. You can either block their ninja stars, or you can deflect them with a sword swipe.

Well thought out from beginning to end. Music works well with the game, custom artwork which i love seeing from indie devs. The game is easy to learn but difficult to master! Not so fond of the arrow keys being used for movment but picked it up after a while. Died 111 times, scored 5. Shocking lol. Overall, loved the game. Well done.
Fantastic game! I remember looking forward to playing this while seeing clips in the discord. Plays very smoothly and the difficulty is rather steep! I do feel like the parry window was rather tight though that my be my own lack of practice! :D
Awesome work! (The music was pretty jamming too)
super hard cant beat the final area
I think its crazy that my score reset, fun game though. I did finish but I died 50 times.
