This was pretty fun. Thought the fighting game like inputs were a neat inclusion, and they were easy enough to input consistently. I think having some more different attacks would be helpful to deal with the different types of enemies. I didn't end up using the Down-Down-Attack move very often since launching enemies in the air didn't seem very helpful, but a slower attack that did more damage would be useful for the enemies like the lollipops (would probably make the final boss too easy though, so that may not be a good idea anyways).
Art and animations were very nice, liked the designs and everything. Would like to see some of the designs that you had in mind with more time.
