An idle parody flash RPG where you grind for gold to increase the size of your sword to giant proportions and destroy all the enemies on this silly adventure.

Wow no reviews! This is an interesting action game https://www.crazygames.com/game/ginormo-sword, the developer is still making games too. I think I first played this in high school. Years ago... anyways.
The gimmick is that as you level up your sword's attack power, you also get a skill point that lets you widen or lengthen it. This ends up leading to interesting strategy as many bosses/enemies are easier if you're able to be horizontally far, or vertically offset from them (as your sword only attacks left or right).
The game itself is very grindy, sort of to a fault IMO, but some of the fights can get pretty interesting once you're past the point of it being unfair (but before it becomes simple grinding fodder). There's some upgrading of armor that requires you to sort of grind areas in circles (e.g. kill fire boss for gems that give you fire damage, so you can farm water boss faster). I'm not so sure that's particularly interesting, but there it is.
The game is pretty long (probably 5-6+ hours for a first playthrough if you don't know how to optimize? Idk, i'm 2-3 hours in and a bit over halfway I think), but if you like weird action RPGs this is worth a few hours of your time.
Lastly the mouse controls... I have trouble with mouse controls due to slight RSI, but it's sort of interesting how you have to move your mouse to where you want the player to go, then slightly nudge the mouse to aim a certain direction. All while trying to dodge! Kind of chaotic, but novel.
