It's a shame because i liked the way your character looked and the overall ambient of the game, but cant enough understand what was made by my own hands on my keyboard xD
This is a good entry for a jam regarding to the visual style for me tho :)
The controls were a little weird,and the wall's mechanics of "defeated only from behind" doesnt really make sense since you can't go backwards. To me it seems like there's a max distance you can go, unless the enemy spawning is random in which case it's just chance whether you get a good run or not.
i really like the graphics and idea! good job
More animations (enemy death, scrolling background) would be great, but it still a good jam entry.
