This was very nice... Got frustrated on some parts but that's on me for not paying enough attention. Are you supposed to die in the end or did I do something wrong?
Some directionality to the sword would be good :P

I just saw that you're supposed to the dash through that enemy. So I tried the game some more, but then I got stuck at the part right after that enemy. The throwing enemy only kills the other enemies if you click attack, which isn't very intuitive (only discovered it by accident). In the area after that, I realised that this is a new type of enemy that shoots when you click attack. On my second attempt I also noticed that the movement speed is quite slow and the pause/restart menu sure look ugly. I'm also now stuck once again, at the area pictured below.
Glad to see such a detailed reply! Let me explain some of your points.
1. Sword animations, dumb AI and font. We just had no time to finish it. Creating levels took more than we expected. Each level took 3 hours to build and about a hour to playtest and fix (we actually had 10 levels planned)
2. I totally agree that changing mechanics didn't work the way we expected. For example, at level 2 we wanted player to walk up to first goblin, click LMB to attack and get hit by him, so player would understand that enemies attack by left mouse button. But it didn't work at all.
Next time we want to do more prototyping before implementing the rest of the game to get rid of such problems.
Thank you for playing the game!
