Tips I should’ve included in a txt with the game but forgot:

You can hold down the Z key to shoot. You don’t have to tap it.
Those cyan/white things are snowflakes you oughta collect to increase the “Aura of Ice.”
Fire projectiles, the orange ones, will collide with the aura and decrease its size.
Sawblade projectiles will slow upon entering the aura, and gradually come to a stop if kept in it.
Once sawblade projectiles have been frozen, they can be collided with to send them flying upwards towards the boss, ideally landing a hit for good damage.
Your basic attack hardly does any damage so you really gotta make good use of the sawblades.
There’s this super annoying blue fire projectile in phase 3 or so that will destroy your entire aura when it collides with it. Learning the pattern/timing as to when it fires is key to beating that phase.
Have fun! (Ideally.)

Some tips for myself, for next time I use Godot:

If the scripts straight up ain’t running, it’s ‘cos there’s a mismatch between what node type a script extends and the type of node it’s attached to.
If an object’s position seems weird and offset, it probably really is offset. Check its local position.
Don’t make the silly mistake again where you fed an object a sprite instead of a prefab thanks to quickload.
Have fun! (Ideally…)
