Stolen Sword is Ian Chiao's entry to js13kGames 2020, a whole game in 13 kilobytes. A lone swordsman is chasing whoever took his sword, and the only thing you can do is launch him: press, pull back like a slingshot and let go. Time slows while you aim, so the game is about picking a line through the air rather than quick reactions.
There are four stages, each with its own enemies and something new to dodge. Everything on screen, from the fog to the bamboo, is drawn by code, which is part of why it looks so unlike other browser games. It plays the same with a mouse or a finger and suits a phone held upright.
