Managed to almost find the cheese spot on the right side corner, but eventually they broke through me. Combat moves are a neat addition, I just kinda wish they did more than just a different animation. My only “complaint” is that I feel like the balls stealing the kid is kinda gg as you have no real ranged option to defeat an airborne “escaping” enemy. Throwing the shield could be a nice solution to that.
Enemy and stage variety with different moves making a difference in combat would be a cool next steps for the project if you want to work on it more. Well done!
