thanks! i never really thought about the idea for a health bar for enemies because I (having made the game) know each enemies health. i will probably include a little marker when an enemy is weak enough to die to a kiss. it was mainly an issue around lack of anyone playing the the game other than me.
the roses sharing a common direction was sorta a bug i chose to leave in, but i was thinking of adding a "bonus" streak for combos using that feature.
thanks for your feedback!
