So challenging boss battle but it's fun. Also I love the art and music! goodjob!

Игра очень классная, но убить босса 3 раза - это слишком!

I like the boss mechanic battle and sound. Nice work!

Submitted

Nice game!

The art is beautiful, especially the intro and the boss animations. The attack patterns all feel really hard at first but get easier once you know how to time your dash.

The bomb hitbox felt a bit unfair at times, and keeping my two thingers pressed on the mouse felt tiring for me.

Great game other than that, congrats to the team!

It was very difficult! I couldn't get the boss further down than the first 10% before getting beat. The rapid homing missile really did a number on me. The animation and movement of the boss was great and very fluently! I also really liked the music and art style of the game! :-D

Developer

Difficulty is definitely something we'll have to tone down for the next game, a lot of people have said that. Hard to tell when you fight the boss 200 times in a weekend. Thanks for playing!

The boss respawning and thus being a Lich is a very clever idea! Liked the game, couldn't beat it as I'm a noob haha

Submitted

I really enjoyed this game! Took several attempts to kill the boss, but I had a great time!

Submitted

A very interesting concept! I don't know about the musics but the sprites and desings could've been a little better but it's pnice nonetheless

Developer

True our artists just don't have any talent I'm afraid :'(

Damn dude, didn't need to get that down cmon, it's at least better than using google mockups, im sure yall still did great

That’s hard! Is the music adaptive? I feel like it got more active around the 20% of the first life bar

I was waiting on the instructions screen expecting a start button somewhere until that “Ah ha!” moment when I figured out I could already move

For a mouse intensive game, it would be better to include a way of going fullscreen so the mouse stays in the frame (plus on the web version the itch page background is quite bright and distracting), at least for the desktop version so I don’t accidentaly close the game in the middle of the fight :sweat:

Not sure it it was intended, but you can just hold right click for the whole game and never release it to hold your bow, I guess the intent was to pull again on the bow but would be frustrating, but then why keep it at all you can just keep somr tape on your mouse and forget about this fuctionnality?

Loved this game and I will play again to try and finish it!

Developer

The web adaptation was definitely something we put together at the last second but we figured that way at least people who didn't want to download could still try it out. Music was adaptive and had a couple levels of instrumentation. Thanks for playing, it is a hard game, lol

The production quality on this is amazing. The boss patterns are challenging, but it fits well with the theme of "Last boss". It felt like I stepped into the end of a game without knowing what to do.

I got close to beating the second life bar on the boss, but that was as far as I made it.

I liked the art and the gameplay! I managed to kill the boss once out of the 3 times.

Developer

A lot of thing I wished I'd done differently, but of course this is our first time making a game... so we can only go up from here lol! Thank you for taking the time to play our game!

Submitted

This is your first time making a game? Wow, good job!

Developer

For sure made the boss too hard. Once would've been enough, but we were too darn fixated on the theme. Our faults :b

Interesting game! I really like that the boss has a bunch of different abilities here! Even in my game the boss doesn't have as many abilities as you :( Good job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! Your game had much more polish, I'm impressed you finished it all so quickly!
