Description

Swordy is a local-multiplayer physics brawler about momentum and timing.

It is designed to be played with friends in the same room, on the same couch sharing the experience together. It is easy to pick up and play, but has a lot of nuance and potential for mastery by using analogue input where possible. This enables a human element to shine through the onscreen characters in the way they swing and throw objects and weapons.

Swordy's core gameplay is physics based combat. It is "easy to learn, but hard to master". The player is able to get a real sense of weight and cohesion because of the physics interactions. It just feels good to swing a sword, to throw a hammer, to get a good swing on someone and see the juicy outcome of characters flying, weapons and coins dropping and blood splattering.
