Cool game. It uses the theme in a very interesting way. Definitely was excited to see each new door. Combat felt too hard with attacking completely stopping your movement. I think it would be a lot more fluid to play with a dedicated way to dodge or if you could move + attack at the same time.

Hmmm, it could indeed make the gameplay feel better
In our case, the spritesheet we used doesn't have an "attack while moving" animation sadly, and we're limited by free assets limits overall
I did think about a way to "block" for example, since the player has a shield, which seems pretty similar to your idea of dodging (even tho there's still the spritesheet limitation issue)
Thanks for the tips!
