Timing on first boss seems to be all over the place, loosing too much HP on attacks that go straight through what should be a good parry.

Firstly, thanks for trying it out! Secondly, I’m sorry that you’re struggling with the timing of the boss :(

I’m very interested in doing everything I can to make this game feel fair, so thanks for informing me! Once the judges have finished judging the jam entries, I can upload an update that fixes balance issues.

Just so I can address the correct issue, is the issue with timing because when you attack, the boss recovers from the attack too quickly, while you’re still inside the boss’s hit box, causing you to take damage?

In the meantime, before I’m allowed post an update, if I can suggest you give it another shot with this tip in mind: I find the first boss a lot easier if I chase her to the left side of the arena and use that platform to attack her quickly and duck under it when needed. Hope you’re willing to give it another go :)

the problem lies with the bats she summons, sometimes the green bat's projectile goes straight through a attack/parry and same goes for the red bat itself.

I’ll definitely look into that and see what I can do to get that fixed :) The bats and projectiles shouldn’t have any immunity time, so I’ll see if I can figure out why they sometimes go through your attacks. Does this usually happen when the projectile/bat is very close to you?

it seems to happen mostly when there are two or more summoned bats at once,.

as for how close they are when it happens, they still intersect with the attack animation, so it should count as them being hit by the attack.

I believe I've found and fixed the issue with the projectiles :) I'll update the game asap, once judging for the jam is over. As for the bats, could it be that the attack is only hitting their wings? Their hit box does not include their wings. If not, is there any chance you could send me a quick video showcasing this little bug? That may make this easier to pin down what is going wrong. Thank you for taking the time to tell me! :)

unfortunately I don't have the means to make a recording good enough for analysis.
