Thanks for playing man, was fun to watch - and yeah, totally appreciate that blocking is fucky atm. Unable to patch anything until the jam's voting period is done, but there is slight cheese if you wanna see the ending. You can hold more than one direction to give yourself a wider window in which to attack, or block.
Either way, this was a joy to behold and I apprecaite your time! Thank you very much for your kind words, and for your feedback.
