I think a graphic during attacking that graphically shows where the hit box covers in front of the character would help a lot more than animating the characters sprite each attack (and be just as quick to execute).

However, the narration seems to cut out at the beginning and end of each clip (sound is not timed properly?), so it's hard to tell what's going on. Also, as stated by others, more feedback on the combat would be very helpful, and a way to pull the cart would both be very useful and make a lot of sense, since it does have a handle after all."},{"author_name":"laxeot","author_uid":"45502","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 9:38pm","epoch":1429651980,"text":"Nice!
