A weapon is useless on its own—it needs a skilled wielder to unleash its true potential. In this game, you are the weapon, but with a twist: you must strategically transform at the right moment to maximize your power, balancing invincibility as a sword with vulnerability as a human.

The chaining looks really cool in the preview I'm just having trouble pulling it off, partly due to how quick enemies run away and I might just need to grind some level upgrades. An aiming prediction preview would help a ton. I see the potential, very fun skill-based gameplay.

Thanks for the feedback :) Yes, I considered lowering the gravity force of the sword, but then it flew a bit too far. It defenetly needs some tweaking. It certainly works better when you have some Sword Speed upgrades
