Really unique take on the theme and the game was pretty fun. This might sound too critical but I'm going to give you a lot of feedback so you can really improve the game next time! First, the combat felt quite strange since the player only had 4 directions to attack in and the sword animation was almost unnoticeable.  The sword animation should have definitely been a swing rather than a poke which looked strange and was not satisfying at all which made combat quite bland. I did like the ranged attack a lot more since it had a nice sound effect and animation but it could also do with quite a lot more polish. There also should have also been some kind of particle effect or animation for when you hit an enemy rather making them just disappear, everything you do in combat should give at least some kind of visual feedback. Another area for improvement is the pixel art. I think that the shapes themselves are usually fine but the lack of shading makes the game seem very flat and unrealistic which means that the player has a harder time immersing themselves in the world. A lot of the pixel art is really good, such as the masked God, and the poses are really natural, but the faces need a lot of work to look more realistic. Also make sure you change the filter settings to point(no filter) on all the images since some of the pixel art was a bit blurry. I think the game does have a lot of potential, the highlight of it was definitely the God's comments which were very funny and your own original idea, although I would have liked some more interaction with the Gods, possibly pleasing them to get buffs or angering them and then facing their attacks. Overall I did enjoy the game and although it was not very polished, I think if you do these improvements it could be a huge success, good job!
