Nine Lives at Once
This is a fast-paced action survival game with tower defense elements. Use five powerful elemental skills to fend off enemies and record your actions to create shadows, that fights alongside you.
Press 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 to select the skill for the next cycle. Those are your skill icons. 1 is selected, 2 will become selected on the cycle, 3 is unavailable yet.

Press E to create a new shadow. Those are your shadow icons. The first one is already fighting for you, the second one will appear on the next cycle, and the third one is not used yet. 
Use five elemental skills:
Fire that burns with decent damage
Black Hole that drags enemies into the center
Wave that pushes your enemies away
Laser that pierces through enemies on a big distance
Rock that deals VERY high damage on a small area
Sorry if the game is confusing, here are some hints:
1) You don't actually have to press E near the end of the cycle, you can press it any time, and it'll record all ten seconds of your current cycle.
2) Old copies don’t receive your recent upgrades, so it’s best to replace them if you’ve gained new levels. Everything gets MUCH better with upgrades.
3) EXP is really important! Sometimes you need to go out of your way to pick up EXP, especially if you use long range weapons like laser or rock.
4) The game takes some time to master, and sometimes it's just bad luck with upgrades or tougher enemies at the start, please give it a couple of tries.
