I wanted to like this game so much.

Positives:

The art style, character designs, and music are all great. Your jumping is also spot on (though I personally would add a shorter jump on tap).

Negatives:

I felt the game's combat was too unbalanced. Your spear skeletons need a lot of work. They attack too quickly and with little telegraphing, giving me no time to react. They also dealt damage just as their animations begun, I wound up having to jump and dodge past most encounters. As there's no incentive to fight the skeletons, I actively avoided them.

My suggestions:

Add the ability to run and attack at the same time. Redo your skeletons' attack animations and make them easier to react to. Add the ability to block/parry. Finally, please add the Mouse Left click attack. I think Keyboard + Mouse should be the default.

Can't wait to see what this game has to offer, I see potential.
