The countdown reaching zero doesn't end the game, and you can still win by reaching your mate any time after. It'd be nice to have a forward-sweeping attack so a player with good timing can fight the rogues without taking damage first.
Thanks! I know!! Haha I realized that something switched after I submitted and now I gotta wait till voting is over. I did update already and will consider the forward-sweeping attack. It's my 1st game so still learning everything. <3
