Murnjendoof rated Hen in the Foxhouse

A browser game made in HTML5.

Great and unique game, but man, what's with the bosses? The hermit was a fun and challenging fight, but then the scientist and president fights just go on for way, way too long. No checkpoints, either! The final boss fight is flashy and cool, sure, but it gets tedious as hell because not only is it extremely long compared to pretty much everything else in the game, but you have to start at the beginning every time. I can get to the second giant fox head absolutely fine, I'm past the point where anything before that point can really kill me, yet I still have to go through all of it just to have a single chance at continuing the fight... which I'll probably fail again, because there's so much going on and the chicken becomes so tiny that you end up walking into an indestructible bullet because you can barely even see where you are. Plus, the controls are clearly optimised for the standard gameplay, and not the final boss, because trying to manoeuvre yourself through the pin-sized gaps in the bullets will often just result in you walking straight into one of them.

Let me reiterate, this game is really, really good. One of the best I've played on itch.io, in fact. It just gets way too hard towards the end. If you play it for yourself, you'll probably be too engaged by the time you get to the annoying bits to let yourself quit.
