Came up with and implemented one of the special abilities you’ll be able to unlock, called Slingshad. Your shadow will extend an arm towards you and slingshot you towards their position. The little HUD icon disappears then fades back in as the cooldown resets.

Right now this ability is input by pressing X (shadow button) and C (attack button) together while in the air, so I had to alter how shadow spawn/despawn interacts with the button press slightly as well.

I also cleaned up walljumping a bit while I was working on this, though it’s hard to notice.
