The simple pixel art style is great.

Regarding the lore question, the enemies were inspired by Slavic folklore (I'm Polish): https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lady_Midday\n\nI'm aware that you can kinda cheese the game by going constantly to the one direction. But when I tried this I made a mistake after some time and died anyway and given the time constraint I decided to leave it as it is, since the additional balancing required to completely fix that could be time consuming.
