Well done!
I liked the story and general aesthetics. The music was fitting, but so quiet that I had to turn the volume way up to hear it. On the other hand, the sound effects, while sparse, were also good and had a normal volume which is fine except for the quiet nature of the music.
It wasn't always clear which tiles were impassable objects and which were not. At one point I confused a road with a mountain range.
I opted for playing in Balance mode, which ended up being easier than expected. I didn't find out what happens if you lose your balance, since it was simple enough to hold the appropriate direction based on the bar display.
The bandits were good as an obstacle, a bit aggravating to deal with when they spotted me which means they were doing their job well.
