I got crowned king

'The one who pulls out the sword will be crowned king' is a short experimental game about pulling a sword from a stone to be crowned king, inspired by the Arthurian legend. It features a brief story, a sword that tests your patience, a soundtrack, a leaderboard, a beautiful ending, 2 versions (online and offline), and 2 Steam achievements.
Though the game is brief and took me only about 20 minutes to complete both versions and unlock all the achievements, it still provides a satisfying experience. While the game has only one ending and lacks a save feature, its straightforward instructions make it accessible to players of all skill levels. The difficulty level depends on your gaming skills and patience, but I would rate it around 4/10.
'The one who pulls out the sword will be crowned king' is a delightful and innovative game that turns a simple idea into a surprisingly engaging experience. Inspired by the Arthurian legend, it challenges players to pull a sword from a stone with a unique twist: every time someone succeeds globally, the sword becomes longer and heavier, making it harder for everyone else.
The gameplay is easy to grasp, as players use their mouse to grip and pull the sword. This straightforward mechanic makes the game accessible to all, but the increasing difficulty adds a layer of intrigue and competition. Knowing that other players around the world are influencing the challenge creates a sense of connection and rivalry that keeps you engaged.
Finally freeing the sword after numerous attempts feels incredibly rewarding. The achievement you earn serves as proof of your persistence and skill, making it all the more satisfying. The humor and lighthearted tone of the game enhance the experience, even during moments of frustration.
In conclusion, 'The one who pulls out the sword will be crowned king' is a perfect choice for players who enjoy unique and experimental games that test patience and determination. 🗡️
