Really great game, hard to believe this is your first release on itch because it's so polished! Love the graphics, overall aesthetics and fast pace action. The progression is quite nice as well, with upgrades that make dying a lot less punishing. Some music would make this title a banger! Only complaint is the fireball, I think others have mentioned this as well, but it would be nice if it would just instance new entities rather than reuse the same one.
