Eternal Blade: You Are The Weapon
Sacrifice the wielder to save the blade.
Explore an infinite procedurally generated dungeon as a sword whose wielders are replaced after they fall in battle. The sword is damaged by colliding with enemies and the wielder is damaged by enemy attacks. The player has the ability to swap health between the sword and the wielder. When a wielder falls, the run is continued from the start of the last dungeon. When the sword breaks, the player can choose to sacrifice the wielder for a full health boost. Runs end when the sword breaks, and the player chooses not to sacrifice the wielder.
It's a bug! It's a feature! Try attacking enemies through walls or ceilings...
