I'm going to wait until you've fixed it some more before I leave my review but rest assured this is great - especially from an aesthetic standpoint.
I appreciate you don't want to turn this into a total pussfest but if I I was to throw my two cents I'd suggest that either the powerups aren't lost as easily or homeslice recharges a little slower. It's kind of a kick in the nuts when he gets back to almost full health. I'm sure you can work it out. Fucking good job bro.
