A Slash in the Dark is a 2D, 2 player fighting game focused around sound based combat. Players are two ninjas who must fight in a pitch black room. Use the sound of each other's footsteps to position yourselves to attack. Attack when the sound of thunder occurs. 

Special thanks to Ben Nelson for collaborating with me on the music of the game!

Install instructions

The game is available to play on Windows, Mac, and WebGL.

Controller support is available, and default controls are split keyboard controls. 

Here are the instructions to play: 
No gamepad plugged in: 

Players use split keyboard controls. The left player uses AD to move and F to attack, while the right player uses JL and F to attack. 

One or more gamepads plugged in: 

Players can either join in using both gamepads, or one keyboard  control and one gamepad. Gamepad controls are joystick to move left and right, and the bottom face button to attack. Keyboard controls follow the left player controls. Players will be given a side depending on the order they join. Audio is played based on which player joined which side.
