Fun, but it got really overwhelming by wave 4. I also experienced a but where my shadow started outside of the play area and it couldn't get back in. And then when I got hit I couldn't go retrieve it.
That's a very satisfying mechanic! It feels great to build up a long chain of enemies and then smash them all, and so is the relief from joining back with the shadow when an enemy is about to hit the wizard. One thing I'll say is that the controls feel a bit clunky on the keyboard, but that problem was solved when I switched to a controller. Also, a way to regen lives would be nice, but it's fun either way.
Very unique, clever mechanic. Would love to see this expanded on
Very interesting dynamic, a bit repetitive but I enjoyed it
had great fun with this one, would love to have seen one more enemy type and some score / score multipliers when you get a long chain of enemies to really make me feel great, but overall great job ^-^
