Thanks a lot for taking a bit of your time for making that edit! It really does look a lot better!

I don't know if I will still change this ( I might remake it from scratch in my free time, it's been a few years) but I'm definitely keeping your advice in mind for future ones, especially since I still tend to end things a little outta nowhere. 

Hey nice mockup, but the abrubt end screen is a little jarring and is onscreen too long. I made a quick edit reusing some of the frames to make it a little smoother:

You should try finishing it, have a slash or something on the monster being attacked and maybe add a little vibrate animation to indicate that it's been hit. Also do the same for the second party member, cute characters btw.
