I quite enjoyed the game. It was fun, and the story was interesting. Also even though the areas feel samey, I like the art style quite a bit. The enemy sprites reminded me a bit of Blasphemous, and their movement felt very natural. 

The two main things that annoyed me a bit, was the dialogue after every death. It is a nice touch, but because it doesn't change at all, after a couple of deaths it feels tiring to go through it. And it was the health of enemies. It felt like you need to hit them forever for them to die. It was especially bothersome on those "beetle" construction guys. After you got behind them, there was not much of a challenge with avoiding their attacks but you still had to spend quite a bit of time hitting them.

Apart from that it is quite a solid entry. Good job!
