The game looks nice and plays really well. Those big clunky health bars could use some updates and the passing stars are a bit distracting, although they makes the game look better.
A volume option would be nice as well if this is not intended for mobile use only.
I would also pick something else than coins for the points. maybe just some glowing orbs. Coins kinda indicate you can buy something with them.
They are quite big and can obscure some of the other assets. The unfilled bar and the border make them very present and distracting as well. I would suggest dropping the bars entirely and use some tinting mechanic on the actual enemy sprites or something more subtle like numbers. The rotation of the healthbars makes the game look more dynamic, but they are more distracting than helpful. Think about what info the player really needs. Is the rotation helping the player see the enemy health better or is it helping in any other way?

Other than that, great game :D
Thanks for your feedback! What do you mean with clunky health bars (the fact that they can rotate)?
