I enjoyed the game, although I was late to the rating, I just think a shadow would've helped the game with depth perception, as I just didn't know where I was going a lot of the time.
I think your points are very valid, especially about the music. I had a lot of stuff to do in my actual life so I had to throw the track and a lot of the game together on the last day, and when I started making it, I didn't really have a strict view of what I wanted, so instead of polish, I decided to think of content that was never added for the final product.
I really enjoyed the art style, but I wished that it would be a bit more evident when you hit the enemy, and a little more obvious indicator besides timing before he attacked. But overall amazing experience!
I really loved the gameplay and how nice it felt to hit the little dudes away from the light. Sound effects fit the game perfectly, and felt genuinely nice to keep the dudes away from the light.
I really enjoyed the retro Gameboy art direction and chiptune beats that really made it feel like it was from the era. It was really nice to see the retro art style look this good and still be made in this short amount of time!
I really appreciate that! I added the upgrades as a way to differentiate the gameplay between each run and make the player find combos that helped them out, so I'm glad it was very visible to be seen that way.
