I did craft a hammer, or maybe a hammer wasn't a weapon ? but somehow I only had one 'attack bar' on that hammer run, and when I tried again, I got many more (without weapons smithed), so dunno exactly what happened

Ah, I see what you've run into. I'll elaborate on this on the tutorial page, but the way combat in the game works is that each weapon has a certain attack pattern. Hammers have the slowest pattern but deal the most damage per hit.
And for the second part, missing an attack or a parry will break all the notes currently on your attack screen, essentially rendering you unable to attack for a bit.
There's a lotta visual cues and flavor text we wanted to add to explain these, but unfortunately we ran outta time.</3
Again tysm for the feedback, it helps a lot!
