Very nice game!
Felt very nostalgic for me, as I used to play games like Streets of Rage. This game felt like that in a lot of ways. I think the hitboxes on the enemies will need some work, and possibly some health bars would be a good thing too.
Sometimes would take damage from enemies, that wasn't all too close to me either.
Other than that, this game is really good. With more time, I feel like this could be great !
