I got around to this game and just wanna say. Pretty graphics and UI, great layout (you noted handcrafted) and sharp controls, music.
I noticed though that the dash you can't control movement for the duration, it seems pretty disadvantageous to accidentally move the wrong way into a crowd of enemies (it's probably just me tho). Running downwards into a wall makes the player's feet visible and makes everything blurry (blurry if any direction). I couldn't quite find the ending nor knew where I was. Overall, the atmosphere and how great your graphics are is well-polished and awesome.
