Nice presentation! I thought the minimalistic black and white pixel art was pretty slick! It felt a little too twitchy too me though and it was hard to understand what I was doing. The dead enemies were difficult to distinguish from those that were still living, I think maybe if the death state of the characters where red or even white with a black outline it might be easier to figure out what's happening. I also thinking bumping of the hit VFX on enemies could help. Overall a really nice submission, great work!
