I keep getting stuck near the tiles. Good game though

I loved the whole premise, the use of health as a timer for each playthrough. Controls are very responsive, sound effects are pretty good and adequate, only the music could be a bit different, the synthwave-like music gives much more of an 80's action movie/sci-fi vibe than the rest of the game. It doesn't need different instruments, only a different arrangement (old school castlevania made medieval horror out of chiptunes).

Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
