Sword Mans is a physics based sword fighting brawler where you control the sword instead of the swordsman. There is a man holding on to the sword who will flop behind it as it moves. Your goal is to defeat the other players by hitting the man holding onto their sword while defending the man holding on to your sword. This game supports both controllers and mouse and keyboard input.
Versus:

Fight against your friends or the AI in local multiplayer versus mode. Use stage hazards and power-ups scattered across some of the many stages to get the upper hand in a fight.

Co-op:
Play solo or team up with your friends in one of two cooperative game modes.

Arena: Fight endless waves of enemies and earn gold which can be used to buy cosmetics.
Campaign: Play through the campaign chapter by chapter. Chapters will be released periodically and the story will continue with each chapter.

Customize your sword man with a host of different weapons and cosmetics that can be unlocked through game-play. Damage is physics based, meaning heavier weapons will hit harder, but aren't as agile.
Sword Mans features a completely original soundtrack designed to fit the varying stages.
Content will be continually added in periodic updates including new stages, new cosmetics, and new chapters to the campaign.

Final Chapters Update

March 30, 2020 Sword Mans version 1.4.

The story of Sword Mans is complete!

Its been a long time since Ive done any updates at all, so I want to make sure this update is a big one. The campaign has finally been finished with the last three chapters! The length of the campaign has doubled in a single update!

Bug Fixes:

Fixed an error where the co-op campaign text would sometimes be cut off in some resolutions.
Fixed a bug where the next campaign level would sometimes not unlock.
Fixed a bug which caused a boss to fire too many fireballs.
Fixed a bug where the bosses' health in arena mode would be more than the value on the healthbar (you're welcome).

General Changes:

Adjusted some sound balancing for some sound effects. Most notably fire and explosion sounds.
Added unique boss images to each of the bosses healthbars.
Added new bosses to the arena. Some are harder, good luck!
Raised the ceiling height for all arena maps.

New Stuff:

New campaign chapter: Chapter 4!
New campaign chapter: Chapter 5!
New campaign chapter: Chapter 6!
Each chapter of the campaign is unlocked once you beat the previous chapter.
New versus mode: Combined. Before you could play sword mans or gun mans, now you can play both at the same time! Look for the setting in the versus options page.

With these three chapters, the campaign has finally been completed. Today marks 2 years since Sword Mans was released, so it's been a long time coming. Sadly, this is also the last big content update I have planned. If you find bugs or have suggestions, feel free to reach out to me at bypassgamestudios@gmail.com or using the steam community hub.

I have other games planned, so if you're interested follow @bypass_games on twitter or keep your eyes peeled for other updates on steam.

I hope you enjoy Sword Mans in its final form, I know I had a blast making it! Thanks!
