Stolen Sword

About Stolen Sword

Stolen Sword is a one-finger action platformer about chasing a thief across misty mountains, lakes and rooftops. You never run or press a jump button. Instead, you pull back and release, like a slingshot, and your swordsman dashes in that direction. Time slows down while you aim, so every leap becomes a small puzzle: line up the angle, slice through an enemy mid-air to refill your dashes, and land safely on the next platform. Enemies patrol, shoot and guard narrow gaps, and two hits send you back to the last checkpoint. Across four stages the chase climbs higher and grows more frantic, ending in a showdown with the thief. The quiet ink-wash scenery, soft reflections and crisp sound effects make it a pleasure to replay, and your progress is remembered between visits.
