About the Game

Venture deep into the Cavern of Longing with your trusty yet unwieldy sword. Will your sword be long enough to pierce the dragon's heart? Or will your puny sword be nothing but a laughable object of ridicule in the dragon's eyes?

FEATURES:

  • You can't jump but you do have a sword, and you're not afraid to use it!
  • Marvel at your sword's length. Though if it's too long, it might get in the way...
  • Fulfill your deepest desires (like stabbing a dragon with your sword?)

Originally created in 72 hours for the Ludum Dare 48 Jam with the theme, "deeper and deeper". This version includes additional speedrun controls, key rebinding, and Steam achievement integration.
