How well thought out was the design of all characters involved?
If someone new saw this, i dont think it would make any sense, i only like it because i know the story idea.
How much fun was the Boss Fight to play?
More fun to just watch its animations as it were doing its thing, but also could not linger to long or you would fail, so was okay.
Rate the Technical Complexity & Execution.
pretty simple gameplay,
Did the game include 2 distinct game genres and how well did they mash together?
Yes, platformer with a boss that persist, and match 3. Though not sure what i were doing .. rather why i were matching 3. Other then it progressed the game.
Was the game well polished?
Music, as always super good. Animations also crisp as ever.
Sidenote:
Real happy to see there is actually some gameplay in your game this time :D though was a little hard figuring out how to get to the next stage, wasent abundantly clear what you were suppose to do.
