thanks for playing!
the purple enemies have higher hp as they are used to nudge the player to use melee attacks on them, since melee attacks deal the highest damage and gun does little damage
Appreciate the feedback on the colors, will definitely tweak it.
you can stun boss on a specific attack, or dodge his tongue and get a few hits in while the animation plays. Though i agree maybe there could be something more to help with the player doing melee attacks
