Thank you very much for taking the time to give us a feedback
About the sword hit area, we intend to make several different swords available, with different damage, speed and sizes, or reaches, but we only had time for a single sword and a fixed hit size for now...
Did the boss throw you after locking you against the gate? Or did he just kept walking towards you? Or did he throw you inside the wall?
Again, thank you a lot for the feedback and yes, I agree it deserves further improvements and we're absolutely going to keep working on it even after the jam!
