Great game.
I don’t think there was a need for the turn animation it just takes some of the responsiveness of the controls
when I get an extra heart of a boss as soon as I move to the next level I lose that heart this happened over and over
at later levels my companions were doing all of the work and I was just watching, maybe you could have made it so companions don’t come with the player to the next level
If the point of the companions is to help the player then why don’t I have them with me when I need them the most (Boss fights)
Anyhow great game really enjoyed it
