Nice work and a great example of how much you can get a really great looking game with 1 bit graphics! I really enjoyed the overall way the game made me feel.
At first I wasn't sure how I felt about the battles auto resolving but I found that there was a lot of fun and strategy to be had just by planning out your route and making sure you were in range of hearts should you lose some health to an enemy encounter.
Congrats on your submission!
