No worries! And ha honestly the combat did give me big DMC vibes, whenever I blocked I kept saying 'Royalguard' in my head - I think that's why that part was my favourite.
Oh sure I could see that with V - I'd be excited to see what you come up with! I think being able to combo with your partner would be cool. I did notice in one of the tutorial panels you said you could bat enemies back and forth with your partner which I was trying to do since it sounded neat, but I couldn't pull it off properly. I'd definitely try again if you did change the behaviour though, think it would be easier to do things like that if we didn't have to control the partner as much. But good job! It was a fun prototype overall.
