The 9 lives system is very interesting and unique! I love the simplified controls and movesets, paired with the ability to customize different aspects of it with the lives. I watched all of the current tip videos and it seems there a lot of explore! I also think the community features is very interesting concept. I don't know how it'll pan how or how it's considered for the jam, but it's very forward thinking and seems cool for those who want to engage with the game more. I love the art direction and character designs. I've always been a fan of more sketch-like styles with rougher lines and bleeding colors. As a more traditional fighting game player the combat takes a little getting used to, but the pace and game-feel are pretty enjoyable. I'm a labber at heart so I wish there were more options in training mode, and I wish I could see the damage dealt (unless I'm missing something). After playing some matches, the combat might be a bit too simplified for me personally, though of course I haven't spent enough to time to dig that deep. Overall a very interesting concept/system and pretty good execution! I'm very curious to see how this game develops considering yall making a steam version!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. Yes I'm definitely looking to expand upon this idea and agree the 9 lives system is a unique take, I tried to nail the all or nothing theme by having customizable loadouts, essentially turning any player into a boss fight character. Please feel free to join our discord, I would love to play some matches online sometime!
