The only thing I had a problem with was the hitbox for attacking. It seemed to be wider than the graphic, but there wasn't any visual feedback until the enemies died. The bouncing in the uppper world when getting hit might be a bit too harsh as well, but wasn't really a problem.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Loved the pixel graphics and atmospheric music as well.
