Thanks so much for playing! Haha, I learned back when I used to do Weekly Game Jam that if I used the same button for attack and dialogue, players would accidentally spam through entire dialogue sections... so I've been there before XD
I appreciate your feedback about the state of the combat currently. I agree that it needs some adjustment. I've got some ideas for making the alt attacks more important, vs just spamming punch. I'm hoping to continue this game as a longer project, and it'll certainly need some variety if it's longer!
