i'm watching patrick type his comment on his stream as i write this comment. fun. given how surprising and how funny it was when the boss died, i'm now not sure if i support adding a health bar for the boss, which is was going to recommend. amybe a health bar filled with "????" ? hahah.

anyawy, thanks for the experience

Played this on stream, you are literally watching me type this comment, haha. Fun! Enjoy the implication of the health bar that the game is supposed to be a lot easier, but your hands are tied, I find that hilarious.

cool game! the controls are simple and the game is appropriate with the theme , overall I enjoyed playing, keep it up!

It took a while to beat it, mainly because the spikes spawned too fast and I dodged into them.

i dont like the way at the bigining  you die so quikly it means i cant go  further but other than that good comsept

little loud, But great game!!!!!

Nice game, though it is a little loud. Had to bring my volume down to 8 from 30. 

i really like the game and the SFX are really good but its a bit hard

Fun game, good use of theme. Retro vibes all over!

And it's a tough boss fight! I only made it after countless attempts. The pacing is a bit fast, I couldn't keep my eyes on everything at once. For a "last boss" it would be acceptable to be so difficult, but the mechanics should probably be a little "smarter" and not so spammy. But I like it!

Hey!

• The "1 hp left" concept is very cool, it totally fits the theme! 
• Art is cool and looks consistent.

But:

• There's too many things on screen to be honest, can't keep up! Hard to keep track of the boss, the things on the ground, the bats, etc... Maybe have a darker background too and make the important things more flashy to be able to easily see them during the run.
• I wish I could just stay pressing the mouse to shoot continuously instead of having to spam the clicks, especially with a fast paced gameplay like that.
• The game is pretty difficult directly when you start, player has no smooth way to learn how to play.

That's still a cool entry!

The answer is "no, I cannot beat the boss"... Great concept though!

Some of the attacks feel a bit unfair. For example, I can spawn on spikes, or the boss can teleport next to me with no warning and shoot me. On the other hand, the way you telegraph new spikes is very good.

I would have appreciated a boss HP bar, to let me know if I was anywhere near winning, but that's just a personal preference.

I love the retro graphics and music, particularly the little bats.

Awesome job on the game!  Very tough but i was able to beat it!  Great concept and fun times!

Give mine a shot when you get a chance https://itch.io/jam/vimjam2/rate/1200495

I really like your game! The only thing for me is the difficulty curve. It started off pretty difficult and remained the same the rest of the time. When it got faster, I didn't notice much of a difficulty increase. Maybe start it off easy and have it get gradually more difficult over time. Nice work!
