The art really caught my attention! Super distinct and big fan of the hellish vibes. Don't really have a lot of feedback to give, maybe a couple notes:
- An animated background would be a cool addition. Could honestly just have explosions or something. I got trench warfare vibes, obviously from the title, and think it could really make combat feel more engaging.
- I never used guard. I didn't really understand its purpose. It didn't really look like the enemies, no matter their size or difference in sprite, did anything other than attack with the same damage levels. Maybe create like heavy attacks or make it heal you to incentivize the player to use it?
- I didn't really understand the difference between the different enemy types, other than them having different health. I got really scared when the chonky boi showed up and noticed that they did the exact same damage as the lil' dudes.
Regardless, y'all have a cool game going on. Good stuff!
