pretty unique concept and fun to play! nice audio too :)

Fun concept, definitely needs a few more interesting gimmicks give it more nuance. Approaching the end of lvl 4, I thought I was gonna need to spam at the start of lvl 5 but nope, no lvl 5. It would be kind of cool if you manage to last hit the enemy, they can join you future levels on your side! Best of luck!
