The balloon for the scaling theme is interesting. Enjoyed the fight mechanic. Fairly short and there are room for content improvement, but it's understandable for a game jam. Good job on this one! :)

Thank you I plan on adding more bosses in the future, if you follow me you'll know when they are added

Hey! I really enjoyed this! I was skeptical during the first phase of the boss fight, but the game really scaled up! I was surprised that you managed to get 3 phases into the fight, and appreciated having hard mode after I finished it. A nice treat for those who stick with it. I love that you included a screenshot of your sprite sheet, that's super cool!


I had a lot of fun with this one. I don't know that there's much room for critique. The art was good, the gameplay was good and fair. I wish there was some content other than the boss fight, but there was a tutorial, which was nice. All in all, a very clean and well done game jam game. Way to go!

I appreciate you taking the time to make a longer review so I will make a longer response, it was tough to make all three phases but a trick I used was subtlety reducing assets for example most projectile in the game are the exact same object just with different speeds sprites and amounts, and a good amount of sprites are used in multiple phases like monkeys explosion fire and even parts the boss itself (for the first two phases)
