How it feels

You operate two independent pieces in tight, single-screen platforming puzzles, demanding careful hand coordination and rhythmic precision.

What players say

Players control both the hilt (keyboard) and the floating blade (mouse) to reunite them at a pedestal. The blade does most of the work while the hilt gets moved around. The 100 levels are short and simple at first but become very difficult later, and the total playtime is about 2 hours.
