Yes, changing direction breaks the attack flow...I think it should have just remain an attack, and have the speed give a bonus damage (fire comes out for added effect!). Also, the &quot;guard&quot; could have been something more awesome.  Most especially, there needed to be more enemies and bigger level bound.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The boss btw, I didn't have time to create...so it's a placeholder :P"},{"author_name":"Aslai","author_uid":"8782","time":"Dec 21, 2012 @ 5:52am","epoch":1356068820,"text":"I had a really hard time killing the guys with hearts, since my spikes went away every time I was forced to turn around, and I'd get cornered."},{"author_name":"ddionisio","author_uid":"17724","time":"Dec 21, 2012 @ 7:17am","epoch":1356073920,"text":"Ok, seems like those guys with a heart are hard to kill, so I updated the game.
