thanks dark.
I heard about this but since it was only in flash I really couldn't
care less, now its directly downloaded and in a compiled flash file I
will try this.
Its interesting that the flash stuff really has no real access but as
long as you don't escape out of it, the compiled stuff works fine.

Hi.
This is to anyone who hasn't seen this one over at audiogames.net
It's an action game where you play a warrior who has become blind
and is seaking a warlock to help him get his site back. You have a
sword and shield, but the game is very much anime enspired with
armies of attacking warriors, dagger wielding psychotic women, and
archers who's arrows you can cut out of the air (yes it's that awsome).
The music, sounds and story are great, however what really impresses
me about this one is the gameplay. it is extremely simple, move left
and right, up arrow to attack, down arrow to parry, and should by
rights be just another sterrio target boppit affair. I am however
extremely impressed by the way the game works mechanically. You
can't just automaticaly block every attack and then respond with a
hit, there are opponents you need to attack first, some others you
need to attack slightly before they do etc. Actually the mechanics
are far closer o those of a beatemup in terms of timing and response
even though the enemies only have one attack each and you have only
one block and one attack to play with.
I'd definitely advise developers interested in creating more subtle
audiogames to have a look at this one, sinse it takes that very
simple idea we've all seen time after time, but manages to make it
mechanically much more interesting and adds just those elements of
judgement which I've been wittering on about, indeed I am quite
surprised it was possible in such a basically simple game.
The story and sounds are also great too (the enemies are just so
evil). Either way I'll stop wittering and say where to get it.
The game was originally designed to run on a game play website in
flash, but getting that one to work was a bit of a pest so the
author has provided a direct download:

I'll be adding this one to the database when the developer sends me
more information.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
