From the screenshots it doesn't look that bad, but playing it, it has some flare!
I really love just the feedback of everything, the soundeffects, the music, the sprites, it all feels great! Good stuff!
The gameplay itself is a bit of a mixed bag. I don't have an issue with this infinite runner type of deal, but it feels all over the place. Why is there a score when defeating the flying manus thing is a lot better of a goal and what I immediately gravitated towards?
Powerups would have been nice instead of the timer mechanic, dodging things would be enough of an obstacle alongside with the terrain.
The fighting thing also cancels out when the blue bar is only half ways, I do not know if its intentional or not.
Thank you for the feedback, this was for an entry for a three day jam which I was unprepared for so a lot of decisions were made out of the blue and not exactly well developed.
The infinite runner genre plays a big part to the story where the holder of the jam, CdawgVA, hosted a successful charity raising cyclethon which I wanted to pay homage to .
A lot of the design of this game ended up referencing a fighting game called Heritage for the Future of the JoJo franchise that we are also both big fans of.
The blue bar is also a 5-second timer that expires the punching section which is another reference to JoJo All Star Battle's Rush Mode Clashes.
All in all, the game is a love letter to a fighting game and content creator that I really admire rather than a proper game but your insight is well received. Thank you!

Cool little game, style is on point.
