I really like the visuals in this! Super great to see some more hand-drawn stuff (especially animated!!).
I feel the gameplay is missing something. I think someone else had the right idea when they said the speed should factor into the damage you do, or perhaps you should be able to do multiple types of attacks (swipe, stab, spin, etc). I don't really see how you're meant to survive against more than two opponents on the field, but I might just be really bad ;)
Overall nice game!
