Great little game, fun and smooth to play, I also loved the more literal intepretation of the prompt. The idea of clicking the control sticks for a manual attack was also interesting, but I feel it could have a little more player feedback because I wasn't sure if it was doing anything for the first half of the game.
All that being said, I really enjoyed this game and I think you should be proud of what you accomplished in such a small amount of time.
