How to play
- Tap the left or right half of the screen to swing that way.
- Or press Left and Right, or A and D.
- Slimes, bats and goblins must be hit before they reach the knight. Each one that gets through costs a heart.
- Do not hit the bomb beetle. Every fifth wave an ogre charges: each hit pushes it back.
About the game
A silver-helmed knight holds the castle bridge at night while monsters march in from both ends: slimes, bats, armoured goblins, shield goblins and, every fifth wave, an ogre.
Swing left or right the moment a monster reaches your blade. Keep landing hits without a miss or a hit on you and your multiplier climbs to x5. The bomb beetle is the trap: hit it and it explodes, let it pass and it scurries harmlessly behind the knight.
