Greetings Jake,
You wouldn't believe how fast time goes in a Jam like this one, we appreciate you took your time to give us feedback for our project.
Both the battles and the simple funky walking animations, have the mechanics and the visuals you experienced because we had to get the whole thing working and some parts simply couldn't be polished enough for the race against the clock. Do not fear inaction though! We still have some things we would like to improve for the game which I hope will make the experience better for you.
