Nice job. I went with a similar character always moving approach and bouncing off walls. Instead of shooting I had a turn around button. After making my game it took me a minute to get used to the fact that I can't turn around. The style is great and the game play is fun. I did fall in a pit and soft lock(had to reset) so you may want to check the death trigger. It was in the room with the potion. I did make it to the end as well. Great work.
