TY TY! I'm very glad you liked the animations and sprite work! you can thank the subtle lighting affect to nbound and the death sfx to faith!
but yeah I agree, I don't know why but I sort of feel relieved that you also thought and noticed the game doesn't have too much spinny in it
it was the same thoughts and worries I had going into the project, especially considering I was the one to suggest the game format being this way and also making the attack animations "spin" for our take on the game jam theme.
now I must admit, I would be 100% lying though if I were to say "I wish I animated something else to spin or changed how we approached the jam theme" I absolutely LOVED animating the character, and despite the shortcomings I'm glad you appreciated the animations too.
thank you for your kind words!
