It's quite an interesting idea - just running and dodging the opponents, feels almost like speedrunning where you normally don't want to be slowed down by combat and just run around and away from everything.
I also really appreciate the invincibility frames/opponents pushing you away when you just enter the room so that you can't immediately fail with no time to react.
Pretty visuals, fitting audio, nice little game. Although I wish you could pick up multiple glowy items at the same time and have a trail of them behind you, and also finish everything in one go in a true speedrunning fashion.
Though I didn't have much trouble with the enemies, I found their random placements upon entering a room a tiny bit frustrating, as they could appear right next to the door I entered, leaving me with little time to react to them. But aside from that, it was a pleasant little game to play :)
I would be curious to discover the adventures of this cute little witch after her night's sleep! :)
