## About This Game
Rhen has lived her entire life without venturing outside the walls of her
village, but a dark quest takes her to long-forgotten lands in search of
something precious she has lost. Mournful Sword is a 2D Action Platformer in
the vein of classic games like Shinobi and Strider, with simple, precise
controls and challenging combat.

My goal with Mournful Sword was to create a compelling and strategic combat
system, but which was also easy to use, requiring only a single attack button.
I went about this by creating a combo system where you can lock enemies in and
defeat them with a single flurry of sword slashes that also open you up to
being attacked by other enemies.

In addition to being able to attack enemies from either side or above, you can
even combo enemies in midair or below you as you fall onto them. But be
careful, it requires excellent timing and careful planning. I also wanted to
have a checkpoint system which harkened back to older games, forcing you not
only to be able to complete a section of the game, but be able to complete it
consistently.

In terms of accessibility options, there is a game-speed modifier, an option
to reduce button-mashing, as well as settings that add a visual element to the
audio feedback. I hope you will make good of these if you need them.
