Thank you for playing our game!
Yes, it was very ambitious and we had a lot a more we wanted to add to the game like attack animations, another battle, a moving camera during the battle, player feedback in battles, and more. For the HP text, it was a very last-minute add. We did want it to be a bar hovering above the enemy, but I didn't know if I'd be able to implement it properly in time to submit the game.
I appreciate your feedback!
