Nidhogg

A two-player fencing duel in pixel-art style, played as a tug-of-war across a side-scrolling stage. Defeat your opponent and you advance toward your goal, but they respawn quickly. Sword height, thrown blades, kicks and dives give short, tense matches that suit local play. Is it your kind of game?
