Fighting Crabs by the seashore

So, you're having a stroll along the beach, when all of a sudden:

Yep, its a big mutha of a crab. That's what's going on here in this video:

This is an example of the combat engine in play for the game. Its pretty rough right now, but illustrated here is:

• You can hit enemies
• They can hit you
• Its possible (but currently hard) to avoid enemy strikes

In theory there's an action element here that can get more interesting with ranged weapons, variable attack speeds, attack patterns; I am also contemplating a block move, but I'm not sure if it will make the game more fun. So more on that soon.
