There's something pretty interesting here just under the surface. Locking or impeding movement once an attack is decided could make for an interesting dynamic maybe? I could see what you were going for even if it ended up a bit trivial

How does your game fit the theme?
Every attack in Countdown Tower is tied to a visible countdown. Both the player and bosses must wait for their attacks to reach zero, and the countdown speeds up when they move farther apart. Each floor also has its own time limit, forcing the player to defeat all three guardians before the tower counts down to its collapse.
