Thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback!
You brought up a lot of valid points. The scope definitely ended up being larger than what we could comfortably polish within the 48-hour limit, and we agree that a smaller, more focused experience would have made for a better game jam entry.
The issues with movement priority, the lack of diagonal movement, and the slow attack speed are all things we'll be improving. We're really glad you enjoyed the art, and we appreciate you taking the time to point out where the gameplay can be stronger.
Thanks again for playing ❤️
