This was super cute! The boss was suitably intimidating, but the fact that he doesn't do damage on contact made it a bit easier than I was expecting. I think the player moved a bit too quickly for me, I was struggling to pick up the hearts. I love a good revenge story, and integrating "Death is only the beginning" as a power up system was super cool!

Thank you for playing! I am glad you enjoyed it! I actually tried giving him contact damage but then he quickly became to challenging for my taste, especially since if I wanted to use the same collider for contact damage and his actual hitbox! Yeah the player speed is something that still needs some fine tuning as I want the player to be able to traverse the dungeon quick enough but still feel in control! Depending on how many speed ups you get that can become quite hard. The hearts also simply need bigger colliders so that they become a little more forgiving. Thanks for the feedback!
