Description
SWOOOORDS! Colon Lords of the Sword is a dungeon-crawling brawler. It's inspired by Gauntlet, Golden Axe, Bastion, and Spiral Knights.
- Delve deep into procedurally-generated dungeons, brutally defeating swarms of enemies
- Challenging combat means you are always close to death, but skillful timing of attacks, dodges, blocks, counters, and other abilities will ensure your continued survival
- Permanent death: Choose wisely, you only have one life to live!
- Wield one of many swords, each with their own special abilities
- A brütäl heavy metal soundtrack by Pip Malt

Developer Updates
I just made a pretty big update to the game, make sure to check it out!
== v1.3 CHANGELIST (Mar 14 2013) ====
- New Translation: Spanish
- Title menus and pause menu are navigable with the gamepad or keyboard
- Title screen music changed for something less overwhelming… more time to lower the volume if you need to.
- You can now sprint by holding down the “Dodge” button.
- Dodge is a bit more difficult to use, it is slower at the beginning so you’ll need to plan your dodges better
- New dodge physics mean you can perform a high-velocity “dash attack” by attacking while dodging
- Improved dodge and jump animations a little
- The basic dodge is now highly controllable, a skilled player can use it to “sidestep” enemies
- Tracking speed of most enemies lowered to make it easier to sidestep them. It’s an exciting and dangerous alternative to countering.
- Shielded enemies have special block decals to make it obvious that you can backstab them.
- Made some enemies slightly faster, and all elite enemies significantly faster
- Healing token is now a piece of meat. OM NOM NOM.
- You now have to buy your swords and meat, but they’re relatively inexpensive.
- Chests appear slightly more often, now that gold has a use.
- You can spend Gold to start the game at a lower Depth. You can only start on levels you have already completed.
- You’ll start with a depth-appropriate weapon equipped so you’re not totally screwed
- Revive changed so it’s a lot more intuitive; the now-classic “run over and hold down a button to revive your buddy” method
- Optimized AI and combat code to reduce slowdown when fighting lots of enemies.
- A few swords were renamed
- One new enemy added, he acts very differently from the rest.
- The window to cancel an attack into a block is a little bit smaller now.
- Added sounds to various special attacks
- Singleplayer-only restriction removed from the web version because of feedback. It’s now just like the downloadable version.
- Lots of bugfixes!

This game deserves more recognition... but it didn't even make it to the front page.
