This is a really fun game! The player movement was nice and crisp, there was good feedback when attacking enemies and I really like how you've represented the theme through the enemies rather than the player its a nice twist.
The only issue I'd say is how quickly the enemies can easily trap and kill the player, I'd recommend increasing the invincibility frames after taking damage and allowing the player to pass through the enemies instead of stun locking him.
Overall this was a very nice game, congrats.
