Rocket Sword (Demo)
A downloadable Demo for Windows and Linux
This is the FINAL PUBLIC DEMO for my game, Rocket Sword. Unfortunately, I am indefinitely ending plans for release because it is not something I can realistically complete on my own. Stay tuned for future projects!
Rocket Sword is a fast-paced, 2.5D slash-'em-up game inspired by titles like Devil May Cry, Luftrausers, Defender, and Staggy the Boy Scout Slayer, combining the playing field of a wave-based survival shooter with the expressive combat and juicy visual feedback that character-action games are known for.
Operating the most powerful weapon in the universe, you must mow down hundreds of enemies as stylishly as possible, and earn points towards upgrading your superweapon with new techniques and abilities.
Levels are large open areas, where waves of footsoldiers, military machines, aliens, and other menacing opponents will try to obtain your ludicrous power. Each level, once you've shed enough blood, is punctuated with a unique and challenging boss fight.

is this yomih v2?
i didn't know i wanted this but now it's a piece of my personality
Will you ever comeback to this game
its like if Luftrausers took the silly pill
Hey. mind if i copy your game a bit?. i am making a game similar to your rockey sword game. except its top down and more tighter movement.
you know what they say:
it's not copying if you both thought of similar things independently
Stupid, fun, and stupidly fun action game with a giant rocket sword.
Jesus CHRIST this game is hard!!!
Still really fun!! Very unique!
I stumbled on this randomly browsing steam games about a month or so ago... I really need to start checking Itchy first whenever I see anything interesting, because if 9 out of 10 times there's a demo, it'll always be here, but on steam maybe only 4 out of 10 will put it there. I can only assume they either charge you, or have some kind of nonsensical stipulations to put it up there... God I hate "The Man"!
So crazy and interesting
ok, now where the HECK can I get the music??? I want to review this masterpiece so badly
Ikr
Hello, I tried contacting you through your email but maybe believe messaging you though here may work better. I wondered if i could ask a few questions on your older game "Leg Frogs"?
This game is absolutely destructive. I went in clueless and came out filled with adrenaline and shaky hands. Everything feels so smooth, fast, and right! I can't wait for more content and I definitely had more than just a little fun
Super cool game, loved the gameplay and cant wait for more levels! Excited for the upgrading system, wanted to level up but my points weren't coming out of the waves after death! Also was able to play Level 2, found some aliens and crashed the game! Hope you don't mind I made a vid off this. Was mega fun.
What a wild ride!
My only issue is how easy it is for the cursor to be near the edge of the screen and somehow click out of focus on any windows behind it.
I've saw videos about it, but how do you open it with linux??? It's a great game by the way, all the gameplay videos are really making me feel like im playing it myself :D
only complaint is that it isnt fullscreen and i keep clicking out
SHAPES AND COLOURS!!!
is it multiplayer
Very funny!
great game.
Dude, you swung it out of the park with this one..
Can't wait for the full release!
holy shit, this is made in godot? and its only the beta??? great work!
thank you! and yes, it's all Godot :)
Very fun game. I love flying and dashing!

I might be stupid but how do you heal

REALLY GOOD GAME
Hii, I've made a video about the game and wanted to share some feedback about it, hopefully it is useful to you ^^
-The idea of the game is pretty fun and it's well executed overall.-The gameplay mechanics are really awesome and have a nice "one man army" touch that makes the gameplay experience quite brutal :D
-The visuals on the game are quite unique and it's style totally fits the rest of the game.
Hopefully this is useful to you :D, also if you could subscribe that would help me a lot :)
Regards
