This is just a minor update to the game in development. I have extended player control joy0 left and right still move the player left and right. Pressing straight up or down, the player sprite kneels and raises the flaming sword over his head as a shield. If the fire button is pressed, the player kneels with the sword raised, and the flames shoot skyward. While the flames are in flight, the player does not have access to the shield.

Next I need to refine the animation of the enemies.

Cheers!
