Umbral Magus
Umbral Magus is a top-down dungeon crawler where players wield the power of light to cast shadows, vanquishing enemies in their path. As they delve deeper into the labyrinth, they uncover hidden treasures, enhancing their score while navigating the maze to discover the exit.
The shadows you create are your weapon. Do whatever you can to get the enemies inside your created shadows.

I take that the game has two levels? At least when I completed the second one, I got back to menu.
Anyway, it has been pretty fun walking around and trying to get the enemies into the shadow of the attack blocks (or the shadow shield). Took me a bit of figuring out how things work, but once I did it has been pretty nice. That said, casting the Solidify/Illuminate spells felt a bit clunky, so I preferred to walk around and get the ghosts into block shadows instead.
Nicely done, overall. ^^
Thanks! Yep, there are two levels. Ran out of time to make more. Good job getting through both. I know a lot of people had trouble with the second one.
The game looks really great and the music is good too. Though i couldn't figure out how to kill the enemies. Good job though! keep making games
Thanks! You have to create shadows and use those to kill the enemies. The main character gives off light and has some abilities to turn enemies into light and shadow sources as well.
