How to Play: Hit other players with your sword

• Your player, arm, and sword are physics objects that are controlled by forces and are effected by things such as mass, inertia, and momentum.

• To parry, you must hit your opponents sword with your sword

• An extended arm is weaker and thus more vulnerable to a parry

• Leaving your arm extended can make the sword feel heavy, unextend your arm to perform a new strike rather than wagging the sword around
