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 :)
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!
A bit difficult, but really, but fun! I liked it! The graphics are really good and sound was good too! I loved it!!
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
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^>
Couldn't figure out how to charge :'(
Really cool art, and amazing Boss AI.
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.
