The lightsaber guy
Test your lightsaber skills with this fast paced action game!
I spent quite a long time fine tunning lightsaber effective length... because size does matter!
Sorry, there's no highscore nor breathtaking backdrops nor outstanding music because I reached the 560 characters limit.

I'm definitely not a certified jedi clearly :)
But after playing a bit, there was a real in-the-zone run where I managed to flip perfectly back and forth for what felt like several seconds even though it was probably much shorter than that in reality. Super satisfying in that moment
Thanks for putting this together
Thank you for playing! I know the difficulty is frustrating and the game ends up in just a few seconds, but sometimes you survive long enough to experience those satisfying seconds of glory ;)
I'm not very good at difficulty tuning. At first, the game was running at 30 fps. But when I switched to 60 fps and speed doubled I found it very funny, so I kept it at double speed. You know: "Only certified jedis can handle this level of difficulty."
Very difficult, but very well executed!
