Thank you for the feedback, this was for an entry for a three day jam which I was unprepared for so a lot of decisions were made out of the blue and not exactly well developed.
The infinite runner genre plays a big part to the story where the holder of the jam, CdawgVA, hosted a successful charity raising cyclethon which I wanted to pay homage to .
A lot of the design of this game ended up referencing a fighting game called Heritage for the Future of the JoJo franchise that we are also both big fans of.
The blue bar is also a 5-second timer that expires the punching section which is another reference to JoJo All Star Battle's Rush Mode Clashes.
All in all, the game is a love letter to a fighting game and content creator that I really admire rather than a proper game but your insight is well received. Thank you!
