Yeah, I didn't get to the animations which would show the enemy and player "striking each other", the health bar is like a tug over war game where the enemy wants to bring the slider to 0 and the player wants to "max" the value. Do you think maybe some particle effects showing which direction the bar was pushed after an addition or subtraction would help?

Thanks, I opted out of an explanation page this time but honestly with the random power ups and such, I should of added it for this game
