Thank you so much for playing! Glad you liked the animations... I was experimenting with a lower-res sprite style to see if it'd be faster to work with. Still not sure if it is, but I'm happy with how it came out overall.
This release is keyboard only right now, but I do have gamepad support in an update that I've been working on. Unfortunately, I've been incredibly busy and haven't been able to finish it yet... but hoping to get that out sooner than later.
