Deepest Sword

You play a knight venturing into the Cavern of Longing to reach a dragon and pierce its heart, with a cat to save along the way.

This physics platformer gives you no jump: instead, you maneuver an unwieldy sword to climb and cross obstacles. Its reach can help you progress, but its size can also get in the way.

As you descend through the cave, the sword grows and the platforming challenges change with it. The game also includes speedrun controls, key rebinding, and achievements.

Players often enjoy the short, funny premise and the unusual challenge of maneuvering a sword that helps with traversal but can also obstruct it. Reviewers also praise the pixel art and the appeal of trying faster runs or achievements. The difficulty and physics are divisive: some find the challenge satisfying, while others describe it as frustrating, especially when pursuing speedrun times.
