Aggressive Openings for Black

Have you tried the Traxler Counter-Attack?
I just reread your question today and I noticed that you asked,
" Is there some similarly sharp option for black?"

The starting moves of the Traxler Counter-Attack are as follows:
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4. Ng5 Bc4!?

Here is a three part video series on the very aggressive Traxler Counter-attack:

Please read the comments section of the above videos as there are *many* good comments regarding the Traxler Counter-Attack sub variations (especially part 3 of the video series).

Additionally, here are two Traxler Counter-Attack games by Grandmaster Beliavsky:

Anatoly Karpov vs Alexander Beliavsky 1983 (1/2 - 1/2):

Viswanathan Anand vs Alexander Beliavsky 1991 (0-1):

Just play the Qd8 Scandinavian, it'd probably take every non Master blitz player out of book.

Here is a very good example of what happens when white gets too greedy in the Traxler Counter-Attack:

the kings Indian defence is incredibly tactical and leads to imbalances in the position 1.D4 1...Nf6 2.C4 2...G6
