Thanks ! You were unlucky for sure, but the balancing and randomness is also the least polished part of the game, and the one I'll be fixing right after the jam.
The second best area for improvement is the visual and auditory feedback: the bear stance multiplies your damage in exchange for lowering your chances of parrying and dodging, but to realise this, you'd have to pay special attention to the damage values written in the bottom-right dialogue box.
Thanks for playing !
