Unlock new abilities that allow you to traverse and explore more of the world. Find hidden upgrades to increase your damage and health. Collect pieces of the map to the view the world in full.

Every time you die, your shadow appears to lend a hand. He'll follow your every input, and is a helpful friend in combat.
