I know what my hands need to do to play this game, but just balancing those three actions is intense, great job!

It's nice how the different controls are handled and how we are always on the edge and need to adjust with the timing, I like also the minimalist graphics, nice job !

Game just hangs the tab (infinite loop?) when I try to play it on my browser (Firefox Developer Edition)

This one was tough. I think defeated enemies despawn maybe just a bit too fast for the absorption mechanic, or being able to hold CTRL and move them in continuously while still deflecting attacks might be a nicer mechanic. Mistiming a deflection also felt very punishing.

Had some fun with it. With some music, some polished sprites, and some difficulty tuning it could be a pretty solid little game.
