The graphics show promise.
It seems like the time between a pre-attack warning and the attack is sometimes too short to meaningfully react. If dodging could cancel out of an in-progress sword swing, it would be more consistently possible to react to the warnings. I couldn't get past the first boss.

i was left very confused by the first boss fight.

I don't have the reaction time to survive long enough on the first boss, but I really liked what I've seen. That skeleton barman is the best!

The game could have used an easy more instead of the harder one in my opinion

Really awesome pixel graphics! One can tell that you put a lot of heart into this project. I especially like the knight spawning in hell and the Cerberus character, very cool!

Unfortunately I had trouble with the combat, it feels like you need extremely fast reaction speed and I wasn't able to make it past Gluttony's second phase (I get that you can use the i-frames on the roll but often I was not quick enough, and after my first good attempt I had burned through all of my healing items and broke). I also found it difficult to control the direction of attacks. Eventually after respawning a couple times the sound stopped working?

Besides the points above, this game really has merit and I would have loved to have seen more and I suppose you ran out of time but it would have been cool to see all 7 sins in Cerberus' art style.

Edit: I also wanted to mention that it was a bit annoying having to install the game, I would suggest just giving us the executable next time.

I didn't understand exactly what I have to do when there are all there green trees up and down..
