Loooool I like the humor with the sound effects and the text. When I initially started playing, I was thinking the game was too difficult and was frustrated, but after around 4 deaths, I got used to it, and the difficulty actually became satisfying. Stamina was annoying to me at first, but then it became a strategic part of the gameplay. I also really like the deflecting with your shield, it adds alot more technique, chaos, and cognitive focus required for gameplay. I think if I were to change anything, based on my initial frustration, I would make a smoother learning curve. Keep the difficulty where it's at, but let the player slowly warm up to that. It could just be my experience tho and everyone else thought it was fine. Overall, good game!
Edit: oop and as far as the controls and the music, since you asked. I think the controls are fine for me I didn't run into any issues or anything that made the game feel rough or jank. Music is pretty good too. It does what it needs to do, and it for sure doesn't take away from the experience. I think music is one of those aspects of a game that can be hard to critique, since music as an art itself has such a huge potential for improvement, but I think your music does it's job right. I'm sure improvements to music can always be made, but you did good.
