Tried to do a playable character that didn't need a weapon. Went with a Viking kid with big feet and oversized helmet. Use Kick to attack, and helmet to block. Perhaps boots/helmet can be upgraded/swapped to get more powerful abilities(break through walls etc)
Animated in Spine 2d.
Gameplay test animation(yes the baddie is a teapot)
Separate anims, hopefully not too annoying to look at. :)
