Simplistic but efficient. I liked the effect when killing enemies and the camera shake when getting hit. It was kind of difficult to make it far tho since you loose health if the enemies even get close to you from an angle. The controls were good and it works perfectly on Linux using Wine.

Too bad I couldn't use ZQSD on an azerty keyboard, arrow keys didn't work either.
I felt that the gameplay was a little stiff, didn't think the movement was fluent.
If you ignore that, you can easily lose hours in this game!

brb, trying to kill boss.

The particles are pretty gratifying. It was really hard to hit things with the tiny range of the weapon though.

Didn't reach boss. Particles and sound effects were certianly gratifiying! controls were challenging but not too hard.

I would try it if you had a Web or OSX version.

Very hard! Makes me feel like a ninja when I kill people though.

Based on 1.0, the contest version:
It's so hard to win against the pilgrims, it's almost a realistic depiction of history lol
But I had a lot of fun playing. Great idea to call it "Manifest Destiny". I often tried to attack enemies from the side, which always resulted in lost health, though it did not feel as if they hit me.
Fun little game. I wish I would get to the boss.
