A short and sweet experience, I really enjoyed. Accidentally did a dev tool ending the first time but I went back to do the fight proper. Fun patterns that pair well to the players moveset. The environment and art is very nice, surreal, otherworldly, it just works well. I made a similar choice when working on my game and so I just enjoy that aesthetic. Given more time and content I could see this being a really good hack n slash game, the movement and combat combos could definitely expand into a full release.

Thank you, we made everything from scratch. Models, animations, textures, music, SFX, voice lines, etc… it was a ton of work for our first ever game project, but very rewarding and educational.

If you pressed spacebar or enter it likely killed the boss in one hit because I was tired when I submitted the game and forgot to disable dev tools.
