This is a fun game!!!
You know, I barely heard about this game today, and decided, "What the heck! I'll see what it's all about". I like that it has rpg qualities to it, like improving your health and power abilities. Although you get to see first hand how powerful your character can be, then lose it at the start of the game, I have to say it shows how you can take strength for granted. I definitely will try to finish this game.
By the way, this game reminds me of another fighting game on newgrounds called Element Saga. Although your game doesn't have the ability to jump, as far as I could see, nonetheless many great games don't have jump. Great job on this game!
