I chose the 3rd option, hah! That was a pretty epic boss fight! Also the kitty noises were so adorable... man I'm such a sucker for anything with cats in it! You really nailed the PSX style too, rather impressive amount of content for 5 days!
Also, not sure if anyone else has pointed this out yet, but if gamers see red barrels there is unfortunately an existing expectation that shooting them will cause an explosion. It's not an issue, just some amusing feedback.
