thank you so much! yes I was still tuning the parry at submission time, it's .15sec (reset on every successful parry), I think I could make it a bit more generous. and yeah the slow restart was a last minute fix because my UI tweens were persisting across restart, so as a band-aid fix I made it wait until they were done 🙈. once the rating window is closed I'm gonna upload a version with both of those fixes. kind words and feedback appreciated!
