I'm also someone who's been checking through Youtube. I have similar thoughts as others in the comments, but would you also consider making the kick hitbox cover Pherl's body a bit better? I can understand if you don't want it to have more range, but I think on the other hand there are cases where the enemy is basically overlapped with Pherl, and her kick misses which can be devastating since the attacks leave you pretty vulnerable. It would just be nice if it was consistent in super close range. Also, sometimes an item drops that looks like a book--there's no text when I pick it up so what does it do?
Great work so far though, looking forward to future updates from this!
