Speed yes, the other bosses will make things even faster and more intense.
Verticality maybe? I only just figured out how to implement the vertical movement for the boss, so I haven't thought that far yet.

Last skill: transfer YOUR stance damage to a target.
It's most effective when you're nearly stance broken yourself.

With that, the player moveset is finally complete. There's a few more things to add and balance, but the concepts for all 8 skills are settled.

New ability: an ice blade that can be dual wielded.
Inflicts Frost, increasing damage taken.
It's a little slower than regular attacks, but the versatility of the many follow-up attack options more than makes up for it.

Update is now live on itch and Steam playtest.

Lots of comments about this one, so the transition cutscene will now wait for your execution to finish before starting.

We got featured on itch??? and also new boss - Late Sep Update

Uh, so this game kinda just blew up on Itch, huh? I was wondering why there was such a sudden spike in visits from ~100 up to ~2k overnight, turns out we got onto the Fresh Games list for a while, and...

Deflecting now guards against attacks from behind, but ONLY for timed deflects and NOT when just holding up block.
Also, you can now see character silhouettes through walls.

(Still got a bit more work to do before the next playable update, though)

early look at the next boss

...this is probably the easiest it'll ever be, since there aren't that many attacks yet
