Loved how it feels to control the giant boss and the slam attacks, with some sound and particle effects this game could be extremely satisfying.

Interesting concept! The controls are a bit wacky but this was fun. Absolutelylove the style and spritework!

Simple and effective, nicely executed. A bit hard for my taste, and I get the feeling taht it incentivises me to spam buttons like there's no tomorrow ^^' 

Good job overall!

Noice and short:) Dodging was a bit difficult and clunky but overall pretty good experience

Great work!

A simple concept, but very well executed, I think that the boss really gives the strong vibe, looking huge and menacing with its sterotypic hand/punch attack. Good job!

May I just pop a question, which software did you use to make this? 

It is extremely,  unusually,  performant on my '15-ish' year old PC.

P.S. - Lovely execution!

Simple but really well done!
Any chance of a post-jam update? Would like to see this idea fleshed out more.

Damn, the hero is strong man xDDD

I did let out some screams while trying to dodge his bullet. It really feel like I'm the boss of a Sega Megadrive game. The simple movement patterns and attacks match this and I enjoy it! (I have so many hours on Sonic 3)

Great job! 😁

The idea is nice, but maybe you could make the hero weaker and add multiple heros. That way the player would feel more like an op video game boss without sacrificing difficulty!

The gameplay is kinda repetitive but the idea is well implemented.

It is nice and creative, but a bit hard to beat the player. I guess I am not created for being boss)

This was pretty fun, would have really sealed the deal if the hits were a little more punchy. Feels good taking down the good guy for a change.

Very cute little game. I guess I'm better being a hero than a boss xD
