Cool game, we also thought about doing something related to the "Esc" key but ended up going a different direction! Good job! Did you consider using the mouse pointer to control attack direction? Took me a bit to figure out the direction of the attack was the latest move direction, managed to get myself killed like that a couple of times :D

Thank you! Yes I thought about it and told myself I'll do it if I have time left since there was a lot I wanted to add, but had a lot to do and ended up not doing it at the moment because it was playable like that (ish), I tried a little bit to make it change attack direction if you press another movement key, for example you attack right then press A and the 2nd combo attack would be left etc. But again I thought I can spend an evening doing something else on the game than getting caught in small details, but I plan on expending on the game, add more enemies and some bosses and will use the cursor to choose direction of attack.
