I'm really impressed with how much versatility you squeezed out of such a simple idea. With some exploration I think this is the making of something very cool and different—it almost plays more like a vs. Shmup than anything.
Giving Not-Wario a dead-zone for his left/right slash is -very- funny. I'm very impressed.

Thank you very much! I'm honestly happy about the result, I wish I could have a couple days more to add at least a primitive AI! And yes, I very much took inspiration from shmups, when coming up with the game loop, I realize there is an interesting overlap :D
Also, yes, that dead zone was by design. I have no regrets.
