I was going back through entries and I realized I'd forgotten to share my notes here on yours after rating it so I had another quick play this morning before everything wraps up. 

First of all, I really liked the music and visuals, but I think adding some really simply sound effects and/or visual feedback when the player or enemy is hurt would really help—I died a few times not even realizing I was about to bite it as I was so focused on the gameplay. Player movement and pacing could be tweaked here to be a slight bit faster for my taste, but I think it works. I found the obstacles falling from the top really difficult to dodge due to player's movement speed, so I ended. up spending most of my time in the bottom half of the levels. Overall, I had fun playing—thanks for making and sharing your game!

Fast paced action keeps you focussed. I've only completed it twice, it is possible but it is very tough.

I defeated the Minotaur, it took me three attempts, good victory music, I discovered an attack pattern to be able to evade everything on the screen, good boss battle.
