SIDELONG is a game, paid, with a free browser demo on the store page.
An action RPG with no attack button. You cut a monster by running into it off centre or from behind. Meet it head on and you both take the blow. Play the free demo in your browser above. The full game is the Windows download. The rules Every monster wears a ring on the ground. Gold is a shield. It hits back and throws you clear. Red with teeth is spikes. Running into that side hurts you. The dark part is open.
Run into it off centre and you cut. The small white pip is where the monster faces. Meet it dead centre there and you clash, and both of you are hurt. Some rings turn on their own, and every guardian changes its guard when it is hurt. What is in it Eighteen rooms: Hollin Town, the fields, the Old Copper Mine, the Drowned Shrine and the Watch Tower. Eight guardians, each with its own guard.
Five blades and five suits of mail from the smith and the armourer. Monsters far below your level teach you little, so you grow by going forward. The road home is always drawn on the map in gold. Six music loops, one per region and one for the guardian fights, and sound for every cut, clash and shield. Saves in the browser for the demo and on your PC for the full game.
