This game is awesome! I love the gameplay, the art, and the atmosphere. I had a bit of trouble with the controls though. It's hard using the arrow keys as opposed to WASD. But that's my only complaint. I love it!

Very good! I loved the graphics and overall mechanics. The animations are so polished and juicy! Was it all done by yourself? Great work! I could not defeat the first boss, but the debug key helped me to see what else was in the game :)

Most of the game assets were made by me inspired by some old projects I already have.
I added more animations over time for different bosses atk patterns but get out of ideas too fast haha

Glad you liked! :D

real banger, i love the boss design and the game mechanics, but i think you should add a slower intro, and not just spawning the player in front of the boss ahahah. Good job!

Maybe should, I just wanna make it fast phased to keep the action momentum hahaha

Thank you for playing! Will be doing a longer version with more bosses and challenges in the future! :)

A bit difficult, but really, but fun! I liked it! The graphics are really good and sound was good too! I loved it!!

Developer

If you play it again try key 1 to destroy the current boss and advance into the next level ;)

A little bit too hard for me, but that seems to be the objective lol
A big part of that difficulty comes from not having a 'full' keyboard, and having to move with Fn+(J,K,L,I) instead of the normal arrow keys, so it is not really fair for me to judge it

The game looks amazing, and the bosses look incredible! Its pretty smooth to play too! If there was a WASD movement, I would 100% try to beat it

Developer

Thank you for you awesome feedback!

I didn't though about small custom keyboards... I can add WASD movement and mouse to shoot and charge, the thing I didn't do it like that is mainly cuz clicking all over the browser would make players missclick outside a lot and lose focus from the game.

I will add extra (J,K,L,I) movement keys on next update for small keyboards like yours :)

There is a secret key (1 numeric key on your keyboard) to automatically set the boss hp to 1 or instantly kill it and move on the next boss, if you wanna see all the bosses that's a good way to do it.

The secret key will be removed later on for the stream phase <^w^>

Nice! Thx for the little cheat! The game looks amazing and I was dying to see what the other bosses looked like lol

Couldn't figure out how to charge :'(

Really cool art, and amazing Boss AI.

Developer

The charge/dash ability is on the E key. It will charge towards any direction you are moving. Use it to hit and destroy the boss shield ;)

I beat the game, wasn't too hard imo but took a little to get used to the controls. I enjoyed that first boss the most, maybe a little too hard for a 'tutorial' boss but it had the most varied moveset. The last boss was the easiest for me, but maybe that's just because i was better at the game at that point. Some of the bosses wind-up animations were a little light and easy to miss. The most frustrating thing was how they would keep dodging my attack by jumping into the air.
The dash controls was a little frustrating, i wish it would let me dash without holding an arrow key. I was also a little confused how the charge only dealt damage to the shield, and not to the boss, would have been nice with two different attacks to mix up the combat a little.
I realize this might sound negative, but really the game was great and i had fun. A nice variety of boss attacks that didn't feel similar. The visuals and aesthetic was definitely a highlight for me, awesome game.

This is too hard for me

Developer

You need to abuse your charge ability to dodge attacks and destroy the boss shield, and then spam Q to shot him and take as much of his healthbar as posible! c:
Thanks you for trying, I really apreciate it :)
