Wow this was really good. To see cuts cenes and pretty well detailed pixel art has been a treat so far.
Enemies had some variety, animations were good, art style consistent, sound design was excellent. The visual and auditory feedback was very satisfying.
I can tell this a more experienced dev - for a one man team, they accomplished a lot. However, I ran into a game breaking bug - when I died during my run, the player death animation executed, but nothing happened after that and I was simply stuck with no way to continue or restart the game.
