First of all, the music is phenomenal!!! Menu theme has a nice moody feel to it, the arena one is a bit more energetic, it turned out great! The direction of the graphics and artstyle I liked too.
The gameplay and the combat unfortunately felt a bit frustrating as the melee attacks didn't feel very responsive (it wasn't easy to tell when I did land a hit aside from the number showing up) and getting the trident back from hit enemies felt difficult too perhaps due to the hitboxes. I generally liked the approach with having both a melee and ranged attack and they felt balanced damage-wise, but it was hard to make progress once enemies started to gang up on you. Thus I couldn't get a good glimpse of the powerups offered.
Still a solid entry!
