Story:
Indeed, yes.
There was a Verse once, I believe, one among many. One that existed within the reach of Gods, fated to die as ordained.
It's name is... long forgotten. For the Lords of Matter and Light, together banded under one Last Empire, defeated the God who had come to gift them ruin.
Yet time demands sacrifice, even from the victorious and the brave. There will come a time when another God journeys to this realm, perhaps hidden as a being of Matter and Light, and it will reclaim the nameless Verse from the tyranny of this Last Empire.

How to Play:
Navigate the menu using the Left Mouse Button. Left Mouse Button to Shoot. Right Mouse Button to reveal your True Form.
The game heavily relies on particle effects and runs at 60 FPS. Low end (or even high end) computers may struggle.

The graphics and sound were pretty good too (It says you used Kenney's CC0 Sprites, however you never noted if you used someone else's sounds? If not, why isn't there a rating option for audio?).
And the "where do I go now" map screen.
The sound you chose for the shapeshifting was also a little too whimsical sounding, I think. I didn't quite fit the serious tone of the game.
The mechanics kind of bothered me at first but when you manage to link a bunch of attacks together the game really comes alives.
One thing that frustrated me though was the energy bar. When the game got faster and more ennemies showed up, I ended up being able to do very little because of the limited energy.
try out game ;)
