Understandable! Part of doing a jam like this is compromising, so it makes sense that you would have to cut some things for your time/sanity. Just wanted to be specific with my critique lol.
But yeah! Those are excellent additions. Glad you picked up on those too. I personally like how fast they come at the player but I just wish my attack was stronger/bigger. That's just my personal taste though.
Again there are still a lot of cool parts to it so whatever you decide to do from here, I see it being really cool!
