About Deepest Sword

Deepest Sword is a physics-based platformer that turns a typical fantasy trope on its head. You play as a knight tasked with slaying a dragon, but there is a catch: your sword keeps getting longer every time you face it. What starts as a simple platforming challenge quickly becomes an awkward, hilarious struggle as you drag, pivot, and pole-vault your way through the dungeon using an unwieldy blade.

The core of the game is mastering its physics. Your sword is not just a weapon; it is your primary means of navigation. You will need to carefully wedge it into crevices to launch yourself over walls or use it as a lever to fling your knight across gaps. With every round, the dungeon layout remains the same, but the increasing length of your sword completely changes how you tackle each obstacle, creating a satisfying progression curve.

Controls

  • Movement Keys: Move the knight left and right
  • Mouse / Right Stick: Adjust the sword angle

Tips for Success

  • Take things slow: trying to rush with a massive sword will usually result in you getting wedged awkwardly between platforms.
  • Use the sword as a pole vault. Plant the tip firmly on the ground and rotate it to lift yourself over high walls.
  • Remember that you can drag the sword behind you to slide through tight corridors, rather than carrying it upright.

Deepest Sword FAQ

How do you climb walls in Deepest Sword?
You can climb over walls by planting the tip of your sword on the ground and rotating it to lever or pole-vault your knight upwards.
Does the dungeon change when the sword gets longer?
No, the dungeon layout remains exactly the same. The challenge comes entirely from figuring out how to navigate the identical obstacles with a much longer, heavier weapon.
Why does the sword keep getting bigger?
Each time you reach the dragon, it mocks the depth of your sword. To prove your worth and reach its heart, you return with a significantly longer blade in each subsequent round.
