I'll start with the positives, because I really do enjoy this style. The art was unique and the music was lovely, I could definitely vibe with it. Unfortunately, the core mechanics just didn't have much going on. After about 10,000 points from spamming punches, I realized I'd never taken damage, so I spent some time actively trying to and failed. The enemy attacks just didn't connect, at least not in my run.
As a genre, I totally dig beat 'em ups, and I could see some of the positive influences going on. Adding stat-modifying boosts was an interesting take on the event theme and I definitely see how that might be built out going forward! On the whole, I think this one had some real potential, hopefully with some more varied gameplay, enemies, and item pick-ups. Good work
