This is cool, took me a moment to work out exactly how it was working but once I did it was really hard to stop! It's a very cool idea, something about standing still to charge and then releasing that quick dash attack is reminiscent of a sort of minimalist samurai duel. I did find myself wishing I could move in 8 directions or aim while charging (although maybe not being able to do that is part of the challenge). I'd love to see this expanded into more levels though

Thanks for playing!
My original plan was to have this as a one shot boss battle game with actually even more unique enemies participating (there’s a very particular inspiration for that setting)….
And actually you can move and charge in 8 directions… it’s probably just difficult to do with the keyboard.
