Fun art style and a neat world to explore! I wish I could have talked to the person swimming in the water :)
It was a little hard to avoid getting hit by the spiders while fighting them - maybe that was the intention. If not, maybe they could get knocked back a little bit after you hit them to reward good timing. Not sure if that's the point of the game though :)
I loved the rat poison power-up. I'm not sure what else I expected :)
