Plunge into Deepest Sword, a creative puzzle platformer where you wield an oversized sword to navigate deep caverns and challenge a mighty dragon.

What is the Deepest Sword?

Deepest Sword is a physics-based puzzle platformer that challenges players to traverse a cavernous world using an enormous sword as both a weapon and a movement tool. Developed in just 72 hours for Ludum Dare 48 Jam, the game cleverly embraces the theme "deeper and deeper", both in its mechanics and storytelling.

Players must venture into the Cavern of Longing, overcoming obstacles and finding ways to extend their swords to pierce the heart of a massive dragon. With each attempt, the sword grows longer, making movement more challenging and requiring creative problem-solving to advance.
