Nice beginning ! You should use a function like "keyboard.isDown(key)" instead of "keypressed(key)"

Fun little concept.
A bit tedious to having to spam-click the arrow keys but other then that, I got Zelda vibes from it.

It totally nails the experience you are looking for.

Music is great, graphics are totally on topic and tickle my fancy for 8bit rpgs.

Move animation and audio feedback is great. Looking forward to more gameplay using that!

You should really consider doing screen resize , it is easy and works really well with love2d.

(one canvas of fixed size to render game, one canvas screen size where you blit the scaled game canvas) 

Cute style! ╰( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )つ──☆*:・ﾟ
