Swear To God

Skip around a magical keyboard echoing cusswords.

As a tigress thrown onto a magical keyboard, you'll have to sidestep traps and keep cute creatures at bay. The keys echo the uttered curses of the gods. Their words bring doom or blessing. It is crucial to study the layout of the keyboard and sense which letters flare up next.
