That is actually pretty good! The only thing I would suggest on a design standpoint would be to change the color of the hearts on the healthbar(?) to something that wouldn't blend in so well with the sky background. Especially of other levels are going to be using shades of blue or navy. Perhaps a bit typical, but I would suggest a red or an orange would do the trick easier, or even giving all of them a halo. Though the white blinking one is alright, it's still too close of a shade to the background.

Otherwise, this looks damn good! Maybe adding one more frame in the beginning of the parry, but everything else is wonderful. Seriously, good job on that BG!
