I won by ignoring everyone and running directly to the boss.
The game needs a quit option, the only way to close the game is by alt + f4 i think.
The combat idea of hitting enemies to do a special attack is good but that skill is pretty weak, also you don't have any visual feedback of when that skill can be use, also you can't seem to be able to dodge attacks, the sprites of the enemies don't flip when facing the other direction.
