Nice work! I really enjoyed it the aesthetic and such. Did you take any inspiration from e.g. Bayonetta (especially with the enemy 'attack warning' glints?
In terms of brawling, I'm not sure I saw much difference between using the LAtk and HAtk apart in terms of proccing different hit reactions, they didn't tend to be too useful in terms of differing spacing either I feel. I didn't look at the instructions before playing so I completely missed the lock-on and Super Move keys as well. Still, I had a pretty good time! I think the end should boot you back to the menu after you've had a chance to look at the surprise though.
