Game Feel: Make Combat Hit

Diagnose why a connecting hit feels like nothing, then add the simplest feedback: a quick white flash on the thing you hit.

Build the Juice autoload and the single highest-impact technique: freeze the game for a few frames on contact.

Make the target react. Shove it back along the hit direction and lock it briefly so the blow reads as real.

Add trauma-based camera shake with noise and decay, scaled to impact, not the flat rattle most projects ship.

Spawn a number that pops up, drifts, and fades, with a little randomized offset so rapid hits never overlap.

Burst a spark or slash at the exact contact point, oriented to the hit direction, pooled so it never hitches.

Play layered hit sounds with randomized pitch through the Juice autoload so nothing ever sounds repeated.

Collapse everything into one Juice.hit(intensity) call where a single number fans out to shake, stop, numbers, and sound.

Wire it into a 3-hit combo that escalates, then a juicy enemy-death sequence. End on the before-and-after.
