The Legend of the Phantom Blade

Welcome to a 2D maze-like dungeon-crawling game.

Story? You enter an underground structure to find a sword which will potentially allow you to defy the normality and the laws of physics, by entering the spectral/phantom realms (ethereal plane, astral plane, call it what you will) and see and experience the world in a different view, while the world will see you differently as well.

At the moment there are not much, no enemies to defeat, and the normality and the laws of physics will not be defied just yet. If you manage to get the sword you get to the second dimension where things will change. The mechanics should change in the future. For now, only the view (see screenshot).

I did not manage to do all the simple stuff needed for more fun. Will get there at some point, so more features to come, except enemies and the improved phantom functionality, like ladders and hangers to explain why oh why a knight in armour can climb to walls and crawl at the ceiling.

For my first game jam, I am somewhat satisfied that I even managed to have something ready on time!
