Thanks for trying out our game! And I agree, the controls and the "feel" of the combat are the first thing that need to be looked at when we give the game our post-jam update. We went back and forth on how the controls should work, and I agree that a second look will do the game some good.
Also, I'm very glad to hear that you like the look of the game. Yawadwipa Studio came in late in development to work on all the 3D assets and really saved our butts! And Genkics created all the UI and menu art, on top of doing much of the coding and in-engine work. I'm sure that both of them will be glad to hear that all of their hard work paid off!
