Nice work! Looking forward to seeing further development.
I like the character designs alot and can see how this could expand into further moves (jumps, jump attacks, duck, etc.).
The speed of both player and boss movement, including the use of dash was spot on. Not too fast or two slow.
Difficulty and pace of the bosses reactions was excellent. Just the right learning curve.
I felt maybe the A and B button could be switched as I'm used to attack/action being in the other position and kept getting killed because of this for awhile :D
There were a few times it locked up when perhaps I died on both the player and boss executing a move at the same time, but I would guess you've already found this and will sort that out.
Knowing which way my attack would be executed (left or right) or which way I would dash was sometimes a bit confusing as it was opposite the direction facing. So sometimes I dashed into danger rather than away.
