Yeah I can't believe I forgot to change the audio cues and getting hit sounds the same as blocking, I guess it was very late and I was tired and didn't notice. But yeah, other than that I'd say that this game is greatly intended to be played with your eyes closed since the visuals can be misdirecting sometimes.
Huh that's odd
I wouldn't have any clue why'd that'd happen.
It happened to me once but it was because I reset the game right as I tripped an invisible trigger and so it restarted weird, but it never happened to me on the first opening of the game.
I'll look into that. Thanks for playing!
