Interesting little game, reminds me of an old flash game I used to play crossed with pokemon haha. I think you should explain combat and the numbers more, I struggeld to figure it out. Also slow down the combat animation a bit. I wasn't always sure how combining helped me in the game. I think you fit the theme very loosely.
Yes, I wanted to add damage and health loss prompts, as well as a sword and heart symbol to represent each. but no time, such is the nature of a jam.
May I ask what refresh rate you played the game at, as the speed is scaled off of that. It found it acceptable when I was developing it on my 60hz monitor, however when a friend tested it on their 165hz display it felt way too fast.
Thank you for your feedback Jacques.
