Grid based, collect keys, floor turkey...you sure you were inspired by God Hand and not old-school PC RPG's?
For real tho, not bad. I legit did flick the right stick and was confused for a second when he didn't do a backflip dodge. If the dodge was an attack cancel, I would've used it more than just moving out of the way. Was there a range on the enemy attacks? Or did it just seem like it with my old man reflexes?
