This plays really nicely, looks great, and has a great tutorial and difficulty curve. Fantastic jam game!
I just wish there was some way of dealing with the knight besides avoiding their attacks. I'm also not sure if having to restart the level when you die is the best way to punish the player for dying, it feels tedious to have to play the level again. Maybe you should add a timer to make it a speedrunning game and simply stun the player for a while when they get hit, maybe they also drop what they're holding in such a way that it gets spoiled. Not sure if that would lead to soft locks though.
