Working on making combat feel better. I'm pretty unhappy with it for a number of reasons but I think the moment to moment of melee is getting there. I've been digging into what I remember from all those 2010's juicing tips.
I don't know how I feel about the rotation. I really don't like when things smoothly rotate in pixel art games, but this is fast and small and doesn't bother me that much.
i've never tought about using rotation together with the knockback for hits, it gives a really nice feel!
It gives the strike a good sense of power, but I still have to try it with other enemies to see if the lack of rotation (and different levels of knockback) convey a sense of weight, or if it just feels like it's mechanically broken
i really like the pixel art! your player character looks awesome! did you make all of it yourself?
i think the rotation could work. it looks quite funny when they somersault away from you :D
If it looks placeholder or bad, I made it. If it looks good, @mdpotts made it
