Stupid Mouse...
The graphics are totally cute, and the slashing and charge technique was good too. However, the only probles were the guard (which didn't seem helpful in the long run), and then the worst part was using the mouse to move. Maybe on a PC it would be okay, but on a laptop? The way you have to hold you hands in painful, and moving along the sensor with your index finger while trying to get her to move with the click of your thumb is hard. Any other technique requires both hands or is just as painful.
If you could use the arrow buttons then that would be swell.
