Blade & Stone
A downloadable game for Windows and Android
This is a short one level demo where you play as a golem with a 2 handed sword, fighting through magical rock enemies. I built this to test out a minimalistic input scheme for top down 2d combat mechanics.
Please, let me know what you think!
Controls:
PC:
- Left Click: Light attack
- Left Click (Held): Charge heavy attack (release to attack)
- Left Click + Drag: Dash (release quickly after dragging to dash)
- Left Click (held) + Drag: Charge a heavy thrusting attack (release to attack)
Mobile:
- Tap: Light attack
- Long Press (Held): Charge heavy attack (release to attack)
- Tap + Drag: Dash (release quickly after dragging to dash)
- Long Press + Drag: Charge a heavy thrusting attack (release to attack
Cheat Code:
You can enter an abbreviated version of the Konami Code on the main menu (up, up, down, down, left, right, left right) to immediately gain access to the final boss (via the Continue option). In this case, the up, down, left, right inputs are performed by tapping or clicking on the edges of the screen in the correct order. There's sound effects that will let you know if you're doing it right.
Install instructions
PC: Simply download the PC version, which contains a zip file, unzip it, and run BladeAndStone.exe
Mobile: Download the mobile version, which is simply a .apk file, install that, and run the game

Super cool game! I love how you were able to create complex combat interactions with a very simple control scheme. It took a few attempts, but I managed to beat the boss!
