I really like the style of the game. It's heavily inspired by Metroid. The gameplay is a but dry, it needs something extra to spicy it up. Thanks for the nice message at the end, you too have a great new year :).
I like the concept, but it needs a bit more content.
The knights are pretty easy to continuously kill with a couple traps at the start. Maybe have a little space around the traps where you can't put any more traps (this would avoid them overlapping as well)
The idea of the goblin leading the knights away is also pretty cool and could be used for some interesting gameplay/scenario's.
Really nice idea and pretty fun, but I feel like I'm being screwed by rng a bit too much. If the npc decided to hover at my position the moment I used my dash I can't really do much about it than just tank the damage and hope he doesn't kill me instantly. Really nice result tho for the time you had.
