First thought was- OHH MY GOD THE GRAPHICS!!! The graphics are amazing, I simple love the art style. One little detail which I loved a lot about the graphics is the moving lantern on the back of the character, very cool. The character model and enemy models it all looks REALLY good and awesome, environment looks really great as well, amazing graphics. However, one thing I didn't like, as a person with motion sickness, the background animation and movement actually made me a little dizzy and motion sick.... So that might be something to look into and check with people who have motion sickness if you're designing a game. Just saying. Other than that it looks really good, maybe make a tickbox to make background animates or not animated. The background music is very nice too, I wish there were sounds when fighting the enemies, also some kind of indicator of characters health and enemy health should be visible somewhere imho, and also what's that timer on the top? Last complain I have is the shielding isn't very defined, I couldn't really tell if character was shielding or not, should make that more defined too. Other than that, movement and music and gameplay are all very smooth and go together very nicely. COuld be turned into a very cool side scrolling action game with some jumping puzzles or something :D i liked this a lot.

Got to the altar and nothing happens. Did you run out of time there or am I missing something? There's this huge guy standing there doing nothing at all...?

I love the visuals anyway. The gameplay could've been more complex (the stun made it so you can pretty much just keep walking while mashing attack), as you already had the shield and shield attack in place.
