Very nice graphics (especially Huitzilopochtli himself), very cool snake sceptre, and the whole ambience reminded me a bit of Spelunky. My one complaint is that the player sprite moves a bit sluggishly when walking. That's a minor nitpick though, this is very polished-looking and playable.

Nice game so far! Needs some SFX asap!
