All in all a really interesting submission with an amazing art style and some nice music, which unfortunately is brought down by some weird hitboxes and physics bugs, lack of feedback for damage to the player or to enemies and a style that makes it easy to get stuck without any real design language to guide you. I also find the lack of sound effects when it comes to attacks movement and jumping also contributed to the lack of feedback.
Finally in regards to the theme, i think the implementation and connection is weak, with simply stating that because it is pixel art, it is minimalist.
again though, visuals are really cool, enemy design is cool, the player animations are cool i will revisit my rating after the grace period ends in case of changes
