I really enjoyed this concept and found the art and music quite fitting. The controls on the other hand can be quite difficult to get down but feel very gratifying once you get a solid momentum going. The worst for me is how substantially you knock the enemies back. It seems like they take forever to catch back up to you, sometimes never seeming to return to chasing you down at all it feels like, and becomes a matter of chasing them down all the way across the map, trying to build a momentum back up again, and hoping you hit them before sending them across the map again.
Aside from the knock back being too high though, this was a very enjoyable experience. Well done.
