Liked it a lot, this game was very fun to play. Since you do a lot of circular movements to regain momentum this is perfect for a controller and I easily tripled my score as soon as I started playing with it. Shame the retract/expand mechanic is not available in this case - it is definitely the superior way to play. I hope you consider full controller support in the future.
Also I liked that the mechanics are very tightly designed here. Special call out to the details that I think made the game:
- Loosing momentum when hitting enemies
- Risk/Reward of expanding/collapsing chain
- Mace is easier to use when away from walls so hiding is discouraged
