Last reported high score is 51. Can you do more?

This is my entry for GitHub's Game Off  2017.

The theme was throwback and I immediately thought of Zelda. Because firstly, it is the ultimate throwback in time for me personally because I basically grew up with the classic Zelda games, like A Link to the Past, Link's Awakening and Ocarina of Time.

And secondly, because of Link waving his sword to throw back energy balls that several end bosses are summoning.

The end result is this endless runner with Sam (also my initials), the Samurai. Jump, wave your sword, double jump, and wave your sword again. Enjoy!

This game is open source and you can find the code on GitHub.
