Rise, Icarus!

Daedalus' war machines, resenting your place above his other creations, have turned on you, vowing to watch you sink into the sea. Fly! Use your flaming sword for it's sworn purpose. Defend your honour and your life!

Play as Icarus in this arcade action game where you must carefully balance attack and defense. Icarus can slash through hordes of enemies with a fire attack, but if you use it too much, your wings will melt and the machines will win. Thankfully, you have a defensive ice blast which slows down enemies and cools down your enemies. Balance these two moves to survive as long as you can.

Controls

• WSAD to move in any direction.
• Left-click to slash in the direction of your mouse.
• Right-click to use your ice shield in the direction of your mouse.
• Space to dash in the direction you're moving.
