Hey Jason, just found this game! this is crazy fun, a real diamond in the rough. I had just a few questions for future development. Is online play in the checklist, and would steam controller support ever be a thing? Again, really want to say how freaking fun this is, with its simplistic style but potentially complexity. Honestly a beautiful piece. Nicely done.
P.S. PS4 controllers can work with TORB, you just need DS4Windows. Simple software to set up if you have windows 10, and for an (arguably) better controller.
Im not sure, i dont have one. Though i used to use a Dualshock 3 to play it about 7 years ago (i had to have a special driver then but things might have changed)!
Thank you all for trying out TORB! When we passed 4k downloads we were blown away! I'm sorry that we aren't updating THIS version of the game, we both have a bunch of work commitments and we are cooking up some new stuff on the side. We highly encourage players to try streaming services like Parsec (https://parsecgaming.com/) for some "online couch" multiplayer. We will keep you posted on the future of TORB!
we need every master swords man to play this game but for the love of god remove controller controls for people who dont have controllers or change the setting
Great game! Loved it! But can you get to work with MacOs Catalina? i installed it without realising that it didn't work, and now I can't play my favourite game.
Aagh! sorry about that, we haven't tested it on MacOs in a while. TORB is such an old game made on an old version of the engine....I'll do my best, but unfortunately I cant make any promises for the near future. Never fear, though, we are still working on TORB when we can!
Awesome! So cool to see people playing CO-OP!Huge update coming very very very soon. New stages, a proper options menu, even more cool stuff. Almost done, so watch for it soon!
This is a very very fun game. So enjoyable and fun to play. It definatly deserves to make its way to steam. However, one thing that confuses me is how to play with friend in Local Multiplayer, I was not able to get two computers to play with eachother on the same Wifi. Please give me some insight on this. Overall this game is amazing and wonderful. I hope more is added to the game as it would make it even more fun.
Thanks so much for the kind words! Im sorry to say that this old TORB does not support LAN play. It can only be splitscreened. This version of TORB will probably not see too many updates. But stay tuned for news of future TORB, its an idea we are definelty hooked on.
Hey Cool Mann! You need to have another controller plugged in, then at the player select screen (the screen after you pick a game mode) have the other player press A on their controller. Left and right and up and down select players color and symbol. If players have the same color in Versus Mode, they are on the same team. Team battles are fun, and if you get really good, you can fight three of your pals at once for a true trial by TORB!
A little new to this, but we have a TORB Dischord now running. Hopefully we can make it a place to share Torbish exploits, swap Crystal Techniques, and just Torbtalk it out.
Great game, thanks for the chance to play it! :) Unfortunately I couldn't find any of your active socials to share this to, hope you get plenty of coverage since this was a lot of fun!
Thanks for playing! Really enjoyed your video :) You can actually use the circle purple ball thing ("B" on the controller) to push dudes away that are close to you. Helps with those dang riders :D
Thank you for this! Its so aweosme to see people TORBin'! We are working on some kind of social media presence for the TORB so we'll post it on the game's page here or on the blog:
very welcome Jason, thank you for the chance to play! A social media presence is a great idea, I can see channels much bigger than my own having a lot of fun with this!
Thanks! Glad you like it! Yes, the beascon is intended for finding buds. Its also pretty good for puctuating a victory in VS, or maybe initiating a duel, whatever you like!
Cool! If you ever need anyone for sound hit me up. i really liked the environment and think that my style would fit :) i didnt want to message you here but i couldnt find any way of contacting you otherwise.
This is just pure fun! It took a little bit for me to understand the controls and I don't think I even touched all of them, but the core combat is just so damn fun! I think my only wish is that I could choose my own weapon. But overall the game is really interesting in its combat mechanics, manages to get all information across with a cool low poly style and is unlike most games I've played before. Definitely worth playing! Great work!
Thanks man! This video is so amazing and surreal. We've never watched someone play TORB for this long, esp since I just finished that waves mode a few days ago! So glad you like it!
You can pick different weapons in the sandbox mode. If you pick the player from the sandbox menu on the right you can chose between hammer, bow, 2 swords, and saber. But beware, they aren't really as balanced as the good ol' Crystal Blade! Really, really encourage you to try out VS with some pals. Things get real.

Im not sure, i dont have one. Though i used to use a Dualshock 3 to play it about 7 years ago (i had to have a special driver then but things might have changed)!

ive been waiting for this game to release for AGES! im loving it and happy its out.
what plans are there for updates/ the future of TORB? i saw a comment below that 'this version' wont be updated much, but....?
TORB will continue, but its development is kind of a prolonged, fun art project. I cant say when, but there will be more TORB!

how do you do split screen and get another player in
Hey Cool Mann! You need to have another controller plugged in, then at the player select screen (the screen after you pick a game mode) have the other player press A on their controller.
