Hitting enemies into the air makes them completely vulnerable, letting you use slashes they resist, to set up devastating combos.

Even if an enemy resists a slash direction (which means they won't get stunned or flinch), it still counts towards your combo, and has minimal penalty beyond reducing your slash speed slightly and not gaining you much heat (you get 1%), if you can find ways to keep it occupied while you set up, you can hit any enemy with any combo even in bad matchups. There's lots of quirks and strategies hidden in this combat system, the real challenge isn't making an interesting system (that's just trial and error) it's communicating it in a way that's fun. I haven't had any bad feedback on the demo, so I guess I'm on the right track...? But there's still much to do. I... didn't mean to write so much...

Needs more polish but this is a solid direction so far, everything in the game *feels* good

guy who is definitely not about to fall into a surprise midday nap with an aftermath worse than a hangover: it seems like a really good idea to lay in bed and get cozy under the blanket as part of my plan not to fall asleep. I do not know why.
