The art is good considering that it's over 32x32. It's sad that you couldn't really finish the game so I understand why not everything is well made. Considering your problems though this is a good game! Although you should really make the player walk on his own instead of getting moved around automatically when the hero moves... it's annoying.

That's a great suggestion!
I just tried something new by mimicking the camera following the hero like it's the player. But a lot of the feedback hated that concept, so that didn't work well, hahaha.
I'll update it by making the camera follow the player now and staying with the concept that the hero has the main light source while the retainer keeps a small source of light. The code right now doesn't consider the retainer on where the enemy spawns around the hero, so if I changed the camera, there wouldn't be any enemy spawning on the player.
