A downloadable game for Windows and Linux


Samuraipunzel is a small endless runner made for Samurai Game Jam.

Overview

In Samuraipunzel you need to defend your village from enemy attackers. You do so by quickly running through the village, jumping over the rooftops and clearing off any invaders, that you can see. The village will seem endless, so the more invaders you can beat and more honour you can gain, the better.


Controls

Some controls are also shortly shown ingame - more and detailed information here.


(Right arrow key / D key / Gamepad B / Gamepad Stick Right / Gamepad D-Pad Right)
Use a low attack to block low flying shuriken and arrows or to block a Samurai holding his sword low.

Holding the button/key holds your sword in that position, but slashing projectiles away gives more points.

(Up arrow key / W key / Gamepad Y / Gamepad Stick Up / Gamepad D-Pad Up)
Use a high attack to block high flying shuriken and arrows or to block a Samurai holding his sword up.  During the draw, you can also defend low flying projectiles.

Holding the button/key holds your sword in that position, but slashing projectiles away gives more points.

(Space key / Gamepad A) ( + short press or long press)
Jump up to avoid attacks or to jump onto roofs.

A short press gives a low jump, and a longer press will give you a higher jump.

The Windows and Linux (at least on Steam Deck) builds are tested. Sadly, I can't provide a Mac version, because of export problems (might come later).
