(Entry for Pirate Software Game Jam 16 "You Are The Weapon")

Ey there ya pile o' battered, dented shite metal! Lest you forgot: I am Sir Tumbleweed - Knight of the Order o'Saint Jack'n'Johnnie belch And YOU are ta obey me. Why else have we locked a ghost in the shield, eh? See them demonnic basterds over there? Lets w-w-whack'em good. Lemme just grab dis bottle roight 'ere. You got this. hic

Don't mess with fate - Mess with shield! 

 In this single-screen, single-input challenge, survival isn’t about swinging a sword - it’s about precision and control. 
Sir Tumbleweed moves on his own, drunk as a lark's ass, while you maneuver his trusty defense: THE shield.
Deflect incoming demons, anticipate their vicious rebounds, and position the knight's bulwark for the drunken charge.

A single input: MOUSE MOVES THE SHIELD - the closer you stay to the knight, the faster it moves

Cool game! The use of single input keeps the game simple, but that sure doesn't make it easy. The idea of protecting the thing that's moving is really cool and unique. You're not in control, you have to protect the idiot that is. Really fun and quite difficult. What is the highest score you or your team has gotten?
