Looks like you're having some issues with bugs, but you did a good job putting together what you have up. I do like the mood and the music. I'm sure it would have been fun if it was working. Good luck and Keep up the good work.

Hi! I gave the new version of the game a try. Seems to still have some animation issues. The movement is a bit "funny" in that the player never stops. I can press left once and the player continually goes left. Same for the other directions. The attack button starts the swing animation, but only what seems like the first part of it. Then it kinda gets stuck.
I'm still learning lots about animation in Unity myself and the newer input system. I read your comment elsewhere that it's your first time using the new input system. Keep at it and check out some more youtube videos.
I don't know what level your dev skills are at, but check out this tutorial from Code Monkey.
It helped me a lot. It does go into animation and the input system. It gives a practical structure on how to arrange the code around those systems. And overall, the video is super educational and I'd suggest you watch and follow the whole thing. Not gonna lie, it's almost 11 hours long. I followed along coding and trying to understand it all, it took me more than double the time to get through. I enjoyed every minute of it as I felt like a stronger developer afterwards. And Code Monkey is a great teacher.I had a look at the other games you made on your itch account and I can see the passion you've put into them. So my best advice is to follow that video. It's really a full high quality course for free. I'm really no expert as I'm on this game dev journey like yourself.
Good luck and I hope to see you at next year's game jam.
hey thanks for taking the time. Part way through I made the call to use the third person starter asset as I was having issues getting the way I learned the input system to work. I was finding action via strings method new to U6 but neither way worked perfectly with attack and animations so obviously I need to learn and trial more. I have started kitchen chaos before but never got far. I dont remember why probably to do tutorial hell for a few years.
Some recent advice i got was to build project. Ive been focused on just learning specific things and tutorials for my small project and it has made a big change but i still have a long way to go. I'm hesitant to try a big tutorial again but if u recommend it so highly I will give it a shot but stop along the way and build small projects.
Im somewhere in between beginner and intermediate. I still have trouble knowing what code to write and when but a lot of basic knowledge. I am passionate about arpgs and always have been as it's my main drive to make games and it has been since games like secret of mana and Diablo in the 90s.
Thank you again for taking the time to help a new guy.
