What is this, a game for ants? :D
If it started out a bit slower so you get used to the mechanics, then speed up as you progress, I think it would be more fun. But some might like the Souls-like difficulty.
the resolution is so small because the game jam this was submitted for must be 84x48 pixels the game
Definitely! Others have zoomed in on the pixels, though, to make it easier to see. It's totally fine to not have it zoomed in.
