That was a very fun game and very well designed boss fight! It was quite challenging but as others have said, you can learn how the attacks are and how the fight goes and eventually adapt to it. It reminds me a bit of Hollow Knight bosses where when you first start, you get destroyed and you have to fight them a couple of times to learn their pattern and eventually beat it! Great work on your first game jam!

How does your game fit the theme?
The game throws you directly into the final boss, and only takes you to the tutorial after you die.

the gameplay loops feels really good, the controls are responsive. the simple shapes makes so everything is very visible and well defined, the boss attacks are, while still challenging, well telegraphed /indicated. I like the decision of having to lose the first fight and then teach the player from there. Death counter and the narrator adds to the humor but I do wish I could speedup so the "die > get back" was a bit faster. could not finish the game sadly but had a lot of fun!
This is actually one of the best games I’ve played this jam! The movement of the player is very smooth, the bosses have fun attack patterns, and it’s funny how exasperated the narrator was with me (I failed many, many times). Though I agree with the other people that it would be nice to have an option to skip the narrator on the death screen.
The gameplay is very good, and the moveset of the bosses as well, the only thing I would change it's the time that takes to try again after a dead, it should have a way to skip the narrator. Other than that, the game is incredibly good, I seen the game on Discord before the deadline of the jam, so it's awesome to see it submitted. Great job!
Very awesome game, reminds me of when I used to play terraria mods. Please make a version with a boss select and a button to skip the dialog on the death screen.
nice game you made the concept of throwing the player directly to the final boss is brilliant no levels no introduction no progress just straight to the final boss although i felt the final boss is a bit too hard to beat and thats because he is constantly moving and throwing large projectiles that are hard to avoid anyways great game, if you dont mind playing my game too i would appreciate that.
Great game! I thought this was a game somewhat like Geometry Dash at first lol, based on the title.
Hello fellow offline chatter! I really enjoyed the boss rush mechanics and how each boss was different from the last! I also liked the different weapons for each boss. Did the bow have a secondary attack as it didn't seem to have one from what I could tell? I do think having some invulnerability frames if only slightly ,would help a little as I do feel sometimes i would barely get hit by a laser but get like 3-4 ticks of damage sometimes. Overall really cool game and some awesome boss fights and great job on your first jam game!
The music and art are great! The text could have been faster. Beating a boss was pretty fun!
Really fun game, you nailed that ominous vibe with the text in the death screan and the intro really caught me off guard, plus the bosses were a good challenge and the detail of not having any celebration after killing them, just another black screen, really good. And the music, really well composed and hope you can share somewhere to listen to it. I had this bug, I don't know if it was a bug or intentional where I died from the lasers of the first boss and the screen was perpetually with a red tint, only disappeared after I reloaded the page. Aside from that, really fun boss rush game!
Hey the intro was cool. I like big bold fonts. And the boss fight was pretty good.
Love the art work! Great job.
Very fun game, brought me back to grinding out terraria bosses!
Was fun! My only thing was the camera felt very zoomed in and felt a bit claustrophobic, made it hard to keep track of stuff sometimes
man it was really good and it gave me so much inscryption vibes in the begining! Great, just Great! It was hard too! I loved it
Really well done. I like the style and the constant belittling of the player xD Also the game is soo hard! But I love it!
Only one thing I would like to see: The ability to skip dialog such as the ... The game itself is really fast paced, so it makes the texts feel even slower.
But I love it. Keep it up! Great work!
great sfx and camera shake. really sells the effects. i love myself a good bullet hell but i did feel the lack of i-frames quite heavily (kept trying to dodge through attacks) but a fun game nonetheless
Love the "Run Start Speghetti code"
This was a lovely experience and i loved the soundtrack keep up the good work!
