I like the graphical style and animations. The level design is a bit too janky with how empty and labyrinthine it is, and I don't care for the combat at all.
Very baseado musical references both in the pictures and in the music itself.
Make it so the tail changes direction on the back sprite when moving up diagonally.
I got a glitch wherein I moved up to a different map but the character did not spawn there.
You seem to have removed the KC references on the screenshots so IDK if you're already aware, but be careful, as Fripp relentlessly hunts down everyone who makes King Crimson references.
