Even though the art is impressive and the whole game has a nice arcade vibe. I just found the flying boss with the tentacles as more of an annoying encounter than something enjoyable. Especially as he was just sticking up in the air all of the time shooting lightning bolts and I had no way of reaching him than dodging these extremely easy to dodge lightning bolts and waiting for him to come down.
It's definitely a boss fight I would be fixed on going through if I was interested in figuring out what's going to happen next- but overall it was just frustrating enough to make me stop playing.
Also, I hated how the Jump button was on the Z button instead of the up button.
This version of the game was made quickly for a gamejam, I'm working on a balance for the bosses, including a ground attack for this flying enemy. There will also be stages between bosses, just like in a normal game. As for Inputs, I'll make a few more options for those who don't like to use Z,X. Thanks for liking the arts and for the feedback.
