You managed to create a surprising amount of depth for such simple game mechanics resulting in fights that were much more interesting than I expected in the beginning.

I think the enemy had health beyond just the shield so that would've been cool to see as it was a bit surprising when I didn't win after hitting the enemy without the shield.
