The movement in this game is a lot of fun to mess around with, and I like how combat is centered around it. It's good to hear that you plan on working on the project more. Here are a few suggestions that haven't been mentioned yet:
- The pixel art is really crisp, but sometimes there is poor contrast between projectiles and the background. This should be improved, especially in area 3.
- Adding music and sound effects would go a long way towards making the game feel more lively.
