This is a good game! I see a lot of potential in this. It does become extremely easy after getting upgrades like the bone barrage, all this game really needs is map variety and a harder difficulty curve with enemy variations. It's quite well polished and satisfying to playthrough, good job!
Overall a great game, well done!
Could maybe use a little tutorial page and an indicator for the "attack" area.
Also, there seems to be no difficulty progression? It gets too easy once you reach a certain point.
Problems I have noticed - on maximal level you can survive forrever. At all - health is expirience is hard to balance I think. When you level up on lower levels you can die easily. Maybe there is a lack of enemies and bonuses. But as a LD project is really great anyway.
The graphics, sound design and gameplay are very satisfying.
The very first minute can be dangerous at first but you get powerful very quickly.
But apart from the later balancing, this is excellent.
The difficulty at the start is quite nice actually, as long as you don't circle strafe too much.
The most simple fix would be to make the enemies get faster over time and have them deal more than 1 soul in damage later.
