Had larger review but itch.io deleted it.
* Great graphics except player somewhat (needs more detail like every other tile and sprite). Play animation is great though.
* Enemies need to flash when hit, otherwise make it more obvious they're being hit. Maybe also hp bar?
* Ended up being too hard because the block and dodge didn't mitigate full damage and it was hard to read most enemies' attacks.
* Xbox controller controls felt great except jump which was odd (the two triggers next to each other). Could just be me though.
* item pickup needs sfx and maybe a pickup animation to make it more obvious.
Overall, very fun and looks great!
