This is fun! I enjoy the shadow mechanics, at first they were a bit odd to me but I found jumping and nearly hitting spikes bc I couldnt see made me use other mechanics to save myself, which was fun.
I would improve the damage animation so that it's more clear that you are hurt. I died before I knew what was going on. I thought enemies weren't damaging me. :)
Some of the platforms I couldn't reach which was a bit frustrating. But otherwise solid.
The art style is great! And I really liked the combat. It felt really good!
The switch from side scroller to top down dungeon crawler was fun!
This is a really fun game and I hope to see more work put into it. I think you have something here that could do really well!

Thank you! I will take your advice on the damage animation. Should be a quick fix. Most of the art is free assets from https://bruno-farias.itch.io/. The spikes actually don't even hurt you right now, lol. I should probably do that... Thank you for your feedback.
