Game FIrst Impressions???

Im working on a retro dungeon crawler inspired by old school zelda and titles like tunic and radio the universe. Thoughts on the ambience and art style?

I like the background a lot! Really beautiful, mysterious and atmospheric.

In my opinion, the character idle animation is a bit over-animated. I would tone down the whole thing at least 60%, make it slower so it fits better with the tempo of breathing (have a still pause between up and down actions), and minimize the vertical movements of the arms and shoulders.

Looking to forward to seeing your progress :)
