Neat game! I like how you can send a sword out and keep it in place as a sort of defensive barrier, though I wish it were easier to bring the sword back. Right now you have to place the sword on top of yourself and wait a bit to pick it up, so perhaps instead you could press the spacebar to automatically retrieve it? I like how the enemies can sever your connection to your sword, though, forcing you to enter the fray to get it back.
