Flail Tail jam comments

Very nicely done! Simple, but fun! I would've loved to see a little more action with the fail, like some elasticity in the link between the two. It was easy at first to just hide behind the flail and let the enemies come and kill themselves lol, but as it got harder, I had to move around. The little span of time after you get hit where you are invincible is a very nice touch. Of course, a little more polish would be nice, but a very nice game jam submission that I had a lot of fun playing! Great job :)

Might be cool to add an actual attack on a cooldown where you can swing the tail round to a specific point but you can't move while using the attack to allow for some hail mary escapes, it was a bit too hard to dodge enemies and the tail after just a few turned up but I really like the concept.
