Your Father was a knight for the king, he was one of his greatest soldiers. He got in a fight with the king's Jester one day and lost that fight, thus his honor was ruined. You must learn to be one with the sword to one day regain your families honor by defeating the Jester.

I didn't have time during the jam to make a story mode, so right now I just have an endless practice mode, but it does get more difficult as you go on. And you can still have a look at the Jester's full design if you get far enough.

Controls:

Q, Space - Defend top left and bottom right corners, attack from top right to bottom left

W, S - Defend attacks from the top, attack from left to right

E, Shift - Defend Defend top right and bottom left corners, attack from top left to bottom right

A, D - Defend attacks from left and right, attack from top to bottom

C - Sets aspect ratio assuming mouse is in the bottom right corner of playable area

left click - attacks normally

right click - attacks in reverse

mouse - moves sword location

NOTE:

The playable area is split into thirds, if your sword is outside the third that is being looked for to block an attack, you won't block it. The way the knight swings indicates which third your sword needs to be in.

Diagonal thirds are a 45 degree angle from the corners of the playable area.

The center of your sword is what is required to be in a third.
