yup it works now. cool.
I don't mind the mixels, in fact I prefer them, because otherwise the text would be illegible. I'd prefer some little retro space cadet pinball ass SFX of some sort when his stamina bar is recharging coz if you try to swing before its 100% you don't just do a weak swing, you do a no swing, and then you feel like the game is input lagging as your eyes aren't focused on the stamina bar. also an attempt to swing with <100% stamina should give some kind of fail or error noise sfx.
also ya should be able to hit the projectiles with your bat and redirect them.
