@mana - Thanks for playing i'm glad you had fun. Thanks for the video recording its great to watch people play the game. You got pretty far without crashes - i'm pretty certain its the arrow shooting monsters who crash the game when their arrows hit you :(
Ys and Cadence of Hyrule were inspirations for the bump combat. There are 4 monsters in the game and each have a unique behaviour that you can learn to take no damage.
