A strength of this game is the player character and it's idle animation. The friction I encounter is that the enemy is fast so I die all the time, I know git gud, but WAAAA. It's also hard to pick up the items before dying. You could make it easier so it's more playable and then work on balancing and difficulty. A way to improve this Itch page would be add more images of the player, the enemies, the pickups, the world, things from the game you will encounter. Whet our appetites for what is inside.
