Woah! What a stark and interesting game. The mechanics you created have some real potential in a full featured game. I imagine so many situational aspects where your wielder's attributes could matter, like size and shape and sentience etc.
Having the other creatures shift in color as you approach them was a nice touch too!
Nice game concept, I really enjoyed the experience!

I think the concept here is really cool. I enjoy the idea of being a parasitic sword. Very neat.

I think either I couldn’t figure out what to do with finishing level two or the transition won’t trigger. I can only seem to kill the last enemy then reap it’s soul only after my current wielder dies. Let me know if I’m doing something wrong.

I also noticed that the UI is a little hard to parse right away.

I love the color choice and sprites!

I adored the art style. The color palette is bold and foreboding! Great music and sprites too. The ambiance is fantastic.

Unfortunately, I couldn't make it beyond level 2. I was able to kill the second enemy there twice using the second ability, but both times I died as well and therefore couldn't continue.

Happy to try something else, otherwise I'll revisit again later! Good work!
