SwordBounce

About this game

SwordBounce is a linear pixel art puzzle platformer in which you find a mystical sword you can use to bounce on the obstacles in your path. Spike Traps and Bullets that would decimate an average explorer in an instant are no match for the sword's bouncing capabilities!

The finely-tuned precision platforming makes conquering the unknown feel fair, yet challenging. Delve Deep and Don't Give Up!



After waking up in a strange place, you venture downward into the dreary depths to discover the mysteries of these seemingly forgotten passageways.
