Thanks so much! Yeah, the font is part of my 8x8 sprite sheet which I used to limit myself through development of this game. It's on the description page if you want a closer look! I'm glad you liked the animations too, those got the most "polish" time (for what little there was in game jam time) :D
If you look closely, the crouch/defend animation even just reuses and flips the body of the regular action-body-sprite!
