Damn fine job, especially for your first ever game! I enjoyed the retro aesthetic and little details like the way the character follows the crosshairs around the screen with their head. I couldn't seem to get the dodge to work for some reason. Obviously some music and SFX would have added a lot, but I know there's always a time crunch. I would have also liked to see a score counter so I could keep track of how many demons I slayed. :)
