I'm sorry your experience wasn't a good one. Yeah, I wanted to add enemy feedback animations, but simply ran out of time. The three enemy's health is 3 for the guard, 6 for the floating helmet, and 9 for the undead dragon at the end.
"lost sight of the forest for the trees" perhaps you're right, but I wanted to give it a try :)
Thank you for giving it a try and have a nice day!
