Thank you for your kind feedback! We fixed the bug with the dying screen, sorry about that. :-)
We’re very new in game making, and we’d really appreciate your input about the controls: what changes would you make to make them better? :-)
Hey, no worries, happy you fixed it! I'm in the same boat (started with games about a month ago) so I know it's hard to implement things the way you really want to. Control wise I would make the weapon a bit faster or add some knockback to the creature (so you have a little more time to recoup if you're cornered). I'd also love to have some way to get back some life earlier in the game so I can keep going for longer. Once again, great job! :)
