The atmosphere is great, with some good lighting. The pixel art is also great, and fits the Souls inspired setting.
Some thoughts:
- The sound design feels a little clunky. An example is the footsteps of the player and the knight. The footsteps are too loud. When there's 3-4 enemies on screen I can barely here anything else!
- The game could have started a little easier and in a smaller area to introduce the player to the core mechanics before falling into that big area.
Definitely keep working on it!
