Having only two buttons makes the gameplay very limited.
Staying alive on the harder difficulty is as easy as spamming the dash move.
The ability to jump and dash in mid air would have allowed for more variety in enemy attack patterns and made the gameplay more interesting.
Another victim for the button constraint is the gameover menu. The moment it pops up it closes down again because it uses the same keys as the game.
To be honest this could be fixed with a delay of some sort like a death animation, but with more buttons there would be no problem to begin with.
On other news, while there most certainly is a way to lose there's no way to win.
You could implement a highscore system based on the time survived to give the player a reason to keep playing.
Otherwise, it's an interesting idea!
There does not seem to be any kind of objective despite surviving though, and you don't get a score for that, so in the end the player doesn't have any aim.
As someone wrote on the comments, the two button controller is too restrictive, especially for the menus !
I also didn't understand what the guys spawning from the left and right did to me.
Really liked the overall mood, graphics and animations though !
Too bad there didn't seem to be any win state. Nicely designed boss, but the limited controls didn't leave many gameplay options. Good job though!
