Thematic Game

In this opening, I find this attack I played as black to be pretty thematic. I think its all sound, engine said I did alright at least. Open to thoughts. Personally I like the plan of retreating and rerouting the knight in the opening as black. Let me know what you think. 20 move miniature.

pretty good, the only thing is that i would still play 5..Nc6 because sometimes you "get lucky" and white plays e5 unprovoked. the Nf6-Ng8-Nh6 idea is not very fashionable but i think it's definitely fine
Lights I like your idea. Will adjust the line. It delays my line I think, or perhaps it makes it so it is not required, but I like your idea.
as played white never had any chance to play d4, on move 13 you have three pieces (c5 Nc6 Nf5) on d4 vs white's two (Nf3 Qf2), not to mention Bc5 after cxd.
not sure where white really went wrong (besides the blunder of course) but i'd probably just play 7 g3
