Wonderful pixel art, great character controller, engaging combat, and impressive array of enemies!
I had a bunch of fun with this game and think you did a great job with the theme.
Some improvements I think you could make: 1) I had a hard time telling when I got hit as (especially as it started getting more chaotic) maybe you could add a hit noise to your character when you get hit? 2) it might be nice to have some powerups / a dash to deal with cluttered screens?
Overall this was a charming and fun to play game that honored the theme of the jam! Great work!
