Awesome job and glad you enjoyed the game!
Thanks so much for the high praise with the sprites.
It was my first time actually making graphics myself and everything is custom from the chars, enemies, tilesets, system UI and more.
I also released the whole lot as free asset downloads over on my itch main page for public use including extra chars, tilesets and monsters that were planned for an Altima II that I ended binning due to writer's/game dev's block or whatever you want to call it, I'm sure you know what I mean :)
