Thanks so much!!!
Yeah the character does have health, but I didn't have much time for testing and all, so I gave it a bunch of extra health lol. Figured it'd be better to make it harder to lose rather than too hard to win. The player and the hand can each take 50 hits before dying.
I do actually really want to expand on this and turn it into a full game eventually :) but I have a different project I'm working on currently.
