Sword of Destruction
Your castle was overtaken by an evil wizard intending to use it for his vile schemes! Use your sword to take it back. It might not be able to cut anything, but that is merely the calm before the storm, as you can cause everything it has hit to explode all at once, defeating every enemy in an instant.

Thanks for the Windows build! The game has evolved a lot since the jam, it's very cool! Bravo!
But I'm stuck at the level with the bridge and the 5 wizards :'(
I've watched someone play yesterday and it seems like this level is one of the most difficult ones. Which is suprising to me, because I always found the last level before the boss to be the toughest.
If I made a 1.2 version, reworking it is probably one of the things I should do. But I doubt it will happen because I want to move on to other projects right now. (Although I have some content ideas so there is a small chance for 1.2 if I get a sudden motivation burst.)
Thank you for liking the game enough to play it again after the jam ended!
Can you make the game be able to go full screen when you play in-browser? From what I played so far, the game is good. The art is simplistic and nice, the sound effects are good go well with the art.
I am finding that the game has a difficulty curve.. I got stuck on the third level because I didn't know how to kill everyone. And wasn't sure how the detonate ability worked
I think that a tutorial to explain everything would be perfect.
When you launch the game, it goes into a separate browser window and there should be a little button in the bottom right corner that makes the game fullscreen.
