The Black Knight

BEST PLAYED IN FULLSCREEN

KNOWN ISSUE - Once you win a fight (any fight) you need to click the "Won" button quickly, as the timer is still running (despite my best efforts). Feel free to break the game's physical restrictions to do so - it's absolutely not intended for that to be a rush. Credit to Walrusware and LRFLEW for pointing this out to me!

This game was made in 48 hours for the 2023 GMTK game jam. The theme was "Role Reversal." I’ve decided to leave it as-is for posterity, but if I make a post-jam version I will link it here.

Have you ever wanted to know what it's like for the characters you spend all day controlling? Now, you can! Help MMORPG players by fighting for them, but be careful not to lose all your limbs...

(If you don't understand how the game works, there's an unambiguous explanation in the comments. The in-game tutorial is more fun, though.)
