I liked the music and main gameplay. Simple combat systems feel best to me. It does feel weird to dash towards the enemies when you attack, or that you don't know when your stamina will recharge. Overall, solid entry!

- I really enjoyed this game and believe with some polish and balancing that it could be a real gem. My overall gameplay however did not match how the game made me feel. The music and art with the game mechanics had me feeling excited and ready to brawl. However my gameplay experience did not match that feeling. The stamina regen did not feel good because it required full use of all of your stamina before it would start to go back to full. This lead to many deaths and felt avoidable. My other issue was from the final hit to upgrade selection there was no delay. This resulted in the game processing the upgrade screen availability right as an attack was thrown that would result in the final enemies death. If my mouse was in 1 of the 3 upgrade window locations that it would automatically select it as the upgrade I wanted. This resulted in the feeling of having no real choice in the matter for what could make my gameplay different. Overall great job on a game I am excited to see worked on and updated. Suggestions: - Add a delay of some sort between last enemy killed and upgrade screen. - Add a stamina regen so that all stamina isn't having to be used before it starts to regenerate.
