I think the gameplay loop is solid and the game is engaging. I had to die a few times to learn my ways, especially with getting back health points.

My suggestions:

1) when you activate the  upgrade screen put the cursor arrow outside the upgrade buttons and or deactivate the click possibility for some time maybe 1-2 seconds 

My observations:

2) probably a bug after upgrading the "Balance Blade +1 strike to combo" After using this upgrade I try to make a double-click combo, but I do not quite feel a big difference, is the sword slash restart time shorter? I think that by clicking quickly left mouse button with this upgrade the player is starting to slash constantly even if I do not use the left mouse button to click anymore. I had to change the weapon to make the constant attacking stop.

- I like the cost/consequence of upgrades,  (power but at a cost)

- I managed to play it all through. Unfortunately, I became a monster myself in the process xD. 

- When I killed the final boss and pressed restart I walked around and noticed that a big thick black frame was left around the final crypt. ( I add a jpg)


- You could probably tweak some stuff with: a) player’s attacks queuing (probably also connected to my comment on blade upgrade), 

b) player’s attacks restart time ( being more visible for the player somehow)

c) melee enemies’ attacks signalization/telegraphing ( with the bow it was very clear and visible )

Thanks so much for the feedback! I'll address some of your points, but not to push back on them, they are all valid!

I tried to make the upgrade screen non-interactive with a "fade in" delay, but I agree that the delay is probably not long enough - especially using a mouse it's easy to still accidentally select something.

Balanced Blade is indeed bugged at the moment. I unfortunately didn't discover this until after submitting, but I do intend to do a slightly more polished version at some point, while leaving the "bootcamp" version up for posterity

You also indeed discovered a bug that only happens if you make it to the final arena and restart 

Lastly, your advice about telegraphing attacks in on-point, and in line with notes I had made for myself. If/when I continue to polish this those are certainly things i plan to address.
