I love the artstyle and the animations. With some more work i think the gameplay could be improved a lot. My first run I just spammed attacks without even knowing the controls (much like Tekken in that regard hah). When i played again I noticed that blocking did not stop me from losing hp. Fixing the blocking bug and having the loan shark be more aggressive and better at blocking would make the gameplay much better. Mixed with these animations and sound design it would be really satisfying I think.
