Thank you Ryan, im shocked that someone even noticed the effort I put into the character the way you described. It was the first time I had made a Finite State Machine controller in a jam and spent most of the time making the character feel as nice as possible. With basically only 8 or so hours left I threw everything you saw together in a hurry. so yeah I can understand the confusion about what's even going on.
My original inspo was actually Katana Zero and did want to make a side scrolling ninja game but of course that was WAY too big of a scope lol.
That being said I really appreciate your comment thank you.
