Whiz Blade

This cursed blade goes out of control! 

Solve your way through the tower to cleanse your soul. Satiate the sword's blood-lust by ending the worthless lives of tower dwellers. 

Your accursed demon sword, the Whiz Blade, vehemently seeks out blood, no matter what obstacles lie before it. Use this to your advantage, or it will be your demise.

This game was created for the 2020 GMTK Game Jam, with the theme "out of control".

Good Luck!
