You are the weapon

Steel Yourself is a boss rush/bullet hell game where you play as a weapon. Sharpen yourself, dodge patterns  and slash at your foes to escape from your prison! But beware, the Factory won't let you go that easily... Always stay sharp!

Story

Once a living being, your soul was stolen from you and placed in a weapon.  You were woken up from your deep slumber by a blacksmith that was assigned to work on you.

Your goal? Escaping from the Factory, an obscure underground vault where you seem to be stored.

Gameplay

Steel Yourself is a boss rush where the player will play as a convertible weapon. Being a weapon, players will have to balance their attacks with a sharpness gauge. The higher the value, the higher the weapon damage. Sharpness is consumed with every attack, but it can be restored by grinding against walls. Grinding against walls will also be an important part of dodging patterns as it will increase move speed.
