You're right that the game is super barebone in terms of gameplay right now. Don't worry, I've already planned to add more agency to the player in the next demo.
combo games aren't really for me since I always feel like I'm button mashing most of the time but this is a nice concept
attacking and blocking are easy enough, parries are kinda trickier, I'm not sure about combo since the circle icons look like they are more suitable for joysticks?
so far so good, I like the jokes and I will try playing more after doing some grinding
tho tbqh I think being able to run would be nice
one thing I noticed that if at least two of those enemy encounter thingies overlap, if you run away from one, you will immediately get into battle of the other encounter and repeat if you run away again, it would take running away 3-4 times for me to get unstuck
