Thank you for your feedback. This was a kinda demo for a feature I wanted to add into my first commercial game (using gamejams to test features in the field has been insane lol), and the feedback has been useful. I have now added flashes for hits, and working on stamina bars for both characters (funnily enough, due to how I've written my attack script, you can't attack OR block if you have no stamina, which was a happy accident)
