- The basic movement and punching is fun, but unfortunately I kept getting permanently stuck in walls. I also found the stun from enemies to be a bit much; I spent a lot of time basically sitting on my butt.
- The concept is fun, but the game has some glitches (for example, after the character goes out of the screen, the character becomes invisible). Overall good work, I wished it was more completed and polished so I can play it a bit more!

This is really promising, you've definitely nailed the punching! With some polish and content, this could be a great little beat 'em up.
A really good concept. It looks good, it plays good, and It's incredibly satisfying to punch stuff.
It's a shame that the game is unfinished, because it could easily be ranked way higher among other games, just for the gameplay alone. There's not much else to do in the game: enemies knock you back, but don't harm or kill you. Collecting hearts doesn't do anything, and map exits have no collision, which means it's possible to get out of bounds.
One thing to note: hearts do not despawn if you collect them, and enemies/pots respawn after you re-enter the same area. If you repeatedly hit pots in a certain way, it's possible to fill the screen with hearts until the game crash.
I must admit that I had a lot of fun trying to crash the game as fast as possible. :P
Overall, it's a fun and well thought idea. Even for an unfinished game, the idea is so good that I think it might very well stand above other big submissions in presentation and gameplay.
Pretty fun to beat stuff up once I got the hang of the controls!
