This was pretty fun to play. I made it pretty far with just a sliver of health lol. I think some people would like a checkpoint or some health pick-ups (idk if the permadeath was a feature or not) , but I personally like the permadeath feature. Also, I do like your reimagining of the Grim Reaper.

Once you know how the timing of the enemy attack works, you can actually complete the whole game without getting hit. I would need to make some kind of stamina bar so you can’t always just block and more randomization on the enemy attack intervals. A checkpoint would be a good idea! Maybe better to give the option of permadeath or ‘easy’ mode though. I also considered healing the player a bit when collecting a soul. Thanks for the feedback, I’m glad you like it. 🙂
