The animation for subdued enemies is pretty cool! Maybe you should consider a key different from ALT since when playing on a browser it causes the top menu bar to toggle on/off.

Fun with some simple graphics. I really missed some sort of life indicator. And it would have been great to have a fullscreen button

Thanks for the feedback :). I think in the future I will avoid using the ctrl + alt keys like suggested. First game jam I have done with Godot so still learning :).

As for the health I was trying to decide if I should add a ui element for it since i had the bands appear on the character as you got hit but I guess it wasn’t as obvious and there was no way of knowing the max hits you can get.

I also enabled fullscreen on itch too.
