release the full version it seems to have potential

well, uhh. it's... it's a good start, and good lord i'd *love* to see what your full vision for this is, but in its current state it's. it's not very fun, honestly?
it's [As Very Obviously Stated] rushed so i don't know what problems you've already noted but i'll try to list what i've seen

the enemies kind of just follow you around in circles like a bunch of zombies and they
aren't very fun to fight, not just in the *they're mindless zombies* way, but the actual combat itself is boring;
to even attack, you need to be uncomfortably close to the enemies, and really all you have to do the whole time is edge a couple feet away from them while hoping your annoyingly small punch range can *maybe* get to them;

the progression is. way too slow. i know that most of the point of it is to make each run feel more substantial, but the individual upgrades aren't substantial enough for them to feel valuable at all.

aside from the problems and all the bugs [of which i'm not listing because. well. it's a game jam game you got bored of making halfway through],
*seriously* oh my god, i love the idea you're going for here.
please keep leaning into the morbid elements it's fantastic. the idea of completely losing part of your vision, or just losing it entirely, or losing parts of your body locking you out of options is such a cool idea.
there's just so many things you could do with it, maybe you could have a handedness mechanic where certain items are only left or right handed, but they're stronger than their ambidexterous alternatives, or you could sacrifice body parts or something.
i think you should add *some* sort of item system to this, and make the map a bit more open ended so it doesn't feel stale. i'm not sure exactly what you wanted to make structure-wise, but there's tons of arena roguelikes on newgrounds and i'm starting to find it samey.

i'm pretty much out of things to say. please continue with this, it's an awesome idea.
