The sword has a different color, that's how all swords are. The first two are the closest in tone so you don't notice it as much. I could look into that. BTW, did you mean for the inventory or on the hero? I can change the look in the inventory but on the hero you will only see the color differences. Remember that heavier weapons will lower your bonus for the level
I am glad you like it. Soon you will have payed more then I have
The jump strike is meant to strike down on enemies on the ground. It costs more energy then a normal attack but adds bonus damage. The hero will "dive" with the sword pointing down and forward until he hits something. This will use the special button, so you can still hit normally in mid air.
I have not played Nidhogg, my backlog of games is already massive enough. I'll probably pick it up on sale somewhere. Would love it if it came out on OUYA. Perfect for playing against my friends on the couch. I have seen videos of it though, so I know how it plays.
My game will have 5 possible attacks. Normal attack, attacking while jumping, dash strike, jump strike and power strike. Dash strike is pulled off by hitting the attack button once you have reached maximum speed (0.5 sec), it adds piercing to the attack. By hitting the special button in mid air you get jump strike, which adds damage. And by holding the special button while on ground you will charge up the power strike which adds damage, piercing and reach. Costs double the energy to preform. Not sure on charge time, possibly around 0.5 sec and lowered with agility.
