Wow, there's a lot I like about this. The aesthetic and feel of it, in general, are awesome. The pixel art is beautiful, and the music slaps.
It was a bit confusing at first, but then I realized the altar in the middle and everything clicked. Controlling the sword feels pretty satisfying as well.
One thing I'll say is that the graphics, the sound effects, and especially the way that the sword looks as it moves around reminded me a LOT of Castlevania Symphony of the Night, so it felt very cool for me.
I really liked this. It gave me a sense of nostalgia. Very well done!
