I'm glad it felt rewarding! Thanks for playing that much! Yes we tried to make it extra hard, our game for Wowie 2 was also super hard haha. Yeah the block animation thing was frustrating for me, because I couldn't figure out in time why it was randomly not playing, but yes he blocks most hits, you have to find an opening. Best strategy I found was always block, and quickly attack when there's an opening and then block as soon as you land a hit. When you have dashing and healing it should be quite possible.
