Thank you so much for your feedback, and sorry for the delayed response! I'm really glad to hear you liked it, and your guess on the enemies all playing their death sound is exactly right lol.
The game has developed quite a bit in the months since the initial jam. The overall gameloop has gotten a big overhaul, and lots of things you mentioned are either in place or on the roadmap. If you're interested, I recently opened a Discord for development updates and playtesting! Would love to see what you think of the new demo when that goes out soon. Either way, glad you enjoyed!
Oops, sorry. Here you go (and fixed it in the original too):
