Congrats on finishing your game!
The combat is a little bit frustrating for my taste. Especially the fat that at some parts of each level I was not able to attack at all (in first levels it was usually on the first screen with first bunch of enemies). This led me to figuring out that simplest solution is to not fight at all and just run and dodge the enemies - and it worked just fine. Well - until the boss, where I died three times without being even able to hit him (I killed almost all of the guards though). This is when I gave up.
I kinda liked the narative aspect of the game. The music was also very good, I especially like that you put different tracks for each location.
I think that with some tuning of the combat it can be pretty fun game.
