Very, very effective game. Brings Prince of Persia childhood memories to my mind.

Pretty cool game.
I know I should not complain about this but the default controls are really strange. Pressing the shift key too often will bring up a windows dialog for me which makes it impossible to play.

I liked that fact that you can block attacks with the space key but that was not explained in the readme.

Loads of fun! Took me six or seven tries but I beat it (once with no special ability and once with. The AI is really cool!

Very cool graphics style, stickmen, simple but nice! Yes, that was fun! But please create more levels :) and maybe change the default key settings!

The game reminded me of XKCD :)
A a bit frantic, but nice.
It took a while to get used to the controls.

The change in framerate felt really great. But the controls felt a bit weird.

very fun!, I would change the "shift" control. on windows keeps showing a question dialog of "sicky keys". The special move is awesome!

The sfx are pretty good, and also is the gameplay. Even though the choice of controls is pretty odd. Good job

You've built up a decent engine, well done! The special skill however lagged alot on my end, it was nice and unexpected feature thought.

It was very satisfying to land a jump sword strike on a foe. Very nice feel to the game with the animations and sound.

The main bgm didn't work for me, but I played with Icarus (from the Deus Ex: Human Revolution soundtrack) and it was very intense.

Excellent work!

Thanks everyone for the compliments and suggestions! This time I think I made something worth extending :)
@broepi You bet more levels are being made!
@psychonull You're right! I changed the default controls!

As soon as I finish some updates I'm making I'll upload a new version!

This was very "2013 jam game trying to be a "2005 Flash game trying to be an Amiga fighting game"".

Great game! My only complaint is that you need to use mouse to navigate the menu... Awesome SFX, too.

Wah, so addicting, I just spent half an hour playing this :)
Not very best use of theme but still I had loads of fun wit this.
And man last two guys are strong. Failed to kill them -_-

Woh that was real fun.
I found the falling physic a bit freeze (annoying to fall in the void without having a chance to jump back) but the attack phases are pretty efficient.
I really appreciated the difficulty increasing.
I got some lag when destroying the statues with the spell but the effect was still nice.
SFX are perfect.
