This was an interesting interpretation of the theme. I think if he attacked faster it would be better... Or maybe if you could like... See where the enemies are gonna come from... Otherwise it's just luck.
I did notice that it was all pixel art! I love that. Just make the ground and the torches pixel art too. Also the number 5 in that font (or was it 2?) was kind'a hard to tell what it was.
But great game! And very polished for 4 days! Awesome!
Also I'd appreciate feedback on my submission if you get a chance!
