Pretty tough boss fight, but overall well made I would say.

I think some of the combat design choices were not standard for the genre. For example, usually when dashing or for a short time after being hit, the player would have a small window of invulnerability, but as far as I can tell there isn't one in this game, or maybe it's too short and it felt a bit unfair to play. If there was invulnerability, you should also add some visual indications for the player when he is invulnerable.

Sound is ok, but may feel a bit mismatched given the visuals.

I haven't seen this control scheme before, but it was surprisingly comfortable to pick up. I love the music and the spritework (especially the attack cues!). Would love to see what you can make with more time.

This was fantastic. I really thought that the use of WASD and IJKL was very unique and different feeling. I was slashing like a madman, and it felt great! The music was energizing. I loved how challenging the boss was, it felt like a souls like and took me several tries to beat him. When I finally beat him, I was waiting for the next boss to spawn and was sad to find that there wasn't one. The art and animations were great, and the ending definitely left me wanting more!

For a guy named 'boss one' this dude was tough! The fight is very fun though and I liked how you can anticipate the next attack. Also the multiple boss moves and phases are sick.

Controls were a bit confusing at first but I got the hang of it after a while. Great work!
