Super challenging and pretty fun! The retro is strong with this one :). I especially liked the mechanic where you have to avoid shooting the hearts and mana pickups - it’s nerve-wracking to watch them crawl towards you so slowwly (in a good way). Though most of the times when I died it was because of getting completely mobbed, so I’m not sure the health would have helped me there.
Really polished and nice work overall, keep it up!
