God I suck at this lmao. Maybe it's just me, but I feel that the game could be a little more forgiving on the input presses. And it was hard to tell if I was too early or too late. I think it would be okay to be more lenient on the timing because this game also has player movement and combos. So additional to timing the inputs, the player would also have to focus on player movement and enemy attacks which can be very difficult.
I really enjoyed the overall art and design of the game though! Nice work!
