Slash/Jump

Slash/Jump is a short 2D platformer set in a medieval fantasy world. You guide a knight through a series of levels, using a sword as the only means of movement.

Aim and swing the sword to recoil off surfaces and launch yourself across gaps, around hazards, and through obstacles. Progress depends on controlling each swing and positioning yourself along the route.

The game follows a brief, linear course with occasional dialogue between knights. A speedrun timer lets you replay the course and try to improve your time.

Players often praise the unusual sword-recoil movement, describing it as satisfying and responsive, and enjoy the levels’ precision-platforming challenges. Pixel art, music, and humorous dialogue also receive positive mentions. Many reviewers wish the short game offered more levels, while some say its brief length makes it a good quick play or speedrun.
