Is this a platformer or a fighting game?

Both, deliberately combined. Stages usually require you to handle a jump and an enemy within the same movement rather than separating traversal from combat.

Why do I take damage right after attacking?

Attacks have a short recovery during which you cannot act. Swinging early or at the wrong enemy leaves you exposed for that moment.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. On-screen controls appear on touch devices with movement, jump, and attack mapped to separate buttons.

About Bal Hanuman - 2D Action Platformer

Bal Hanuman is a 2D action platformer drawing on Indian mythology, following the young Hanuman through stages of running, jumping, and combat against demons. It combines platforming and fighting rather than treating them as separate sections, so a stage typically asks you to handle a jump and an enemy in the same movement rather than one after the other. The combat is deliberately simple: a melee attack with a short reach and a modest recovery time. That recovery is the important part. Attacking commits you for a moment, so swinging at the wrong time leaves you exposed in a way that swinging at the right time does not. Against a single demon this barely matters. Against two approaching from opposite sides it is the whole encounter. Platforming sections use the same jump for traversal and evasion, which means positioning for a jump you need to make and a hit you need to avoid are often the same decision. The mythological setting shapes the art and the enemy design rather than being decorative, and stages escalate by combining hazards you have already met individually rather than by introducing new mechanics late.

Tips & Strategy

Attacking commits you briefly. Against two enemies, deal with one fully before turning, rather than alternating.
Use the jump defensively as well as for traversal. Many ground attacks pass harmlessly underneath you.
Learn each enemy's wind-up. Most telegraph their strike, and the gap afterwards is your window.
Do not attack at the apex of a jump. Landing during the recovery is where most avoidable damage happens.
