The presentation on this one was really good especially the arenas! I would maybe suggest switching the jump with a side step/dodge sine the jumping really does not do much!  Also is there any more after the second boss?  I have the same issue as the commentor below me! 

Anyway though thank you :)

Hey there! Thanks a lot for your feedback, we're really glad you enjoyed the presentation, especially the arenas made by @Impish ! We appreciate your suggestion regarding switching the jump with a side step/dodge

Regarding your question about content after the second boss, Unfortunately, due to time constraints during development, we were unable to implement additional stages and bosses as originally planned. We had hoped to include four bosses and expand the story further, but we were rushed to complete the winning system after the second boss.

However, I want to assure you that we're currently working on improvements and updates for the game. We've already begun remaking certain aspects, and once this jam is over, we'll be sure to keep you updated on any new developments. Thanks again for your support for this small game :)

Hey! I reached the second stage/boss where you fight two of them at the same time. After defeating them, around 18 of their spawned minions were there, and the game didn't continue. I assume all enemies on the screen, including minions, must be dead for the next fight?

Hi there! Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience with us. We apologize for the inconvenience you encountered during the second stage/boss battle. We were unable to implement  more bosses and add more elements to the story as originally planned. We were rushed to complete the winning system after the second boss but didn't get time and also got eliminated but still got a chance to publish this for the jam .As I told to the above guy, We have started remaking this game from scratch again and will try to publish it as soon as the jam ends. Thankyou for the feedback again and the catch at last :D

I think the presentation of the game is really charming and has a lot of potential.  The lighting in the boss arena is really cool. The bosses have interesting patters of attacks which makes the fight somewhat dynamic. The shooting could use an autofire and more juice but overall is good. Great job!

Thank you so much for taking the time to play our game and for sharing your kind words and feedback! We had many plans for expanding the game further, with some additional features such as, cut scenes for the story and some more thrilling boss AI systems but unfortunately, we ran out of time during development. We are also thinking of rebuilding this entire game from scratch after this jam to meet its complete potential! Stay tuned and once again thank you for playing :D

I had the same issue not sure where to go after watering can but if there is a way to get past that i would love to check it out.  the Images you have up really caught my eye. Grandpappy looks like Freddy Kruger. With a name like "Grandpappy's Dimensional Derby" I had to play.  I cant wait to fight your bosses.

Hi, I did the music for the game. What you should need to do is after you get the can, you hear a loud crash and you have to go into the house to find a portal that will take you to the boss. you need to punch the door down to enter the house.

Took me a while to get back to playing Jam Games but i glad i got to go back to this one. It was super cool I enjoyed the music and the game had a great feel. The bosses had some great mechanics to them and the zombies were a nice touch.  Thank you and Good luck.
