Very cool, polished and fun game. I remember playing it back in MGGJ9, but this version really shines! The art, gameplay and levels are all on point.
I have 2 things I'd love to see updated... first, the shield enemies have a bit too much HP. I found myself just tanking the damage to run past them because I got sick of fighting them. This brings me to the second request... a checkpoint before the final boss please! I haven't beaten it yet because after dying on the boss, I didn't want to fight all those knights again ;-;
I'll try and come back and beat it later. Overall, amazing work!
