About Swordfight!!
Swordfight!! is a top-down sword fighting game where you take on a lineup of 14 different opponents, each fought as a boss battle. Every character has a theme of their own on the original soundtrack, and every fight is timed.
You choose a fight from the level select menu and duel your opponent in 16-bit style pixel art. The fastest 20 times on each level go on a leaderboard, which you open from the trophy icon in level select.
The game is still in active development, with more characters planned, and it supports touch controls on phones. The credits list a wide crew of artists, musicians and programmers, many of them credited on individual characters. You can play Swordfight!! online here.

What to Expect in Swordfight!!
Expect a run of distinct duels rather than one long adventure. Each of the 14 characters has its own theme music, so every fight feels like its own event. Once you've won a level, the leaderboard turns it into a time trial.
The art pairs 16-bit style pixel sprites with bold, anime-style character portraits. It's a sword fighting game built for sessions of a few minutes, and the range of opponents keeps it from feeling repetitive.
