The game is a side-scroller with action elements. There are four boss battles and 14 stages. The combat is short range melee attacks. Every attack will cause normal enemies and a few bosses to drop orbs that will increase the score. The score is essentially your lives. If you die and have some score it will drop to 0 to fuel your health bar again. The goal is to complete the game with the max possible score.
Controls:
X = Attack (Hold X, don't press it)
Z = Changing into Shadow Form
Up Arrow = Jump/Mid-Air Jump
Left Arrow = Moves Left
Right Arrow = Moves Right
1 key = Recovering health if Score is above 499.
Enter = Pause Box (It does freeze the game until okay button is pressed
There are special moves when using different buttons in different situations.
Like pressing X while jumping can cause the character to spin and get extra height= Jump Attack.
Similarly, if you change from shadow form to normal while airborne you'll get an extra jump.
Performing a downward thrust specific objects can allow you bounce off them.
Special Moves:
Holding X while on the ground and press Up Arrow will cause a horizontal spin without no additional height (May be useful for the battles).
Letting go during the Jump Attack before the animation ends allows for another Jump Attack.
*Attacking while pressing the Down Arrow key will cause a downward thrust to the ground.
The music comes from the Music Maker JAM app on the Google Play Store and some sound effects from Game Maker.
