Turns out exploring dungeons is HARD man! The most skeletons I killed was 4 and it looks like beating them with the shield is more effective that fighting them with a sword!
I think the game needs more work. First and easiest- move the camera back! It's too close and I can barely see where I'm going. Adding some light sources, and baking lights would help with the atmosphere.
Also- make the game easier. I might be just bad at your game, but getting killed after beating just 4 skeletons really put me in my place :)
