Yo, thanks for checking out the game!
The battle system definitely is something that'll need a lot of adjustments and small tweaks, and that includes changes to the HUD too. I am, however, glad you see the potential in the combat, despite its current flaws.
(And yeah, that corridor does have that pretty annoying issue that we gotta fix lol)
Thank you so much for playing and enjoying our game and giving this very thoughful feedback though. I truly do appreciate it.
