I am extremely impressed! I can't believe someone figured out how you actually play the game properly XDD. Mega props to you man this is insanely impressive to bypass my poor game onboarding skills.

(mb about the explosion volume...)

There is one last "easter egg" (if it is) which I left in. I urge people to try beat the game the proper way, so look away if you haven't! Here's a little hint: you can speedrun the game... very fast.

If you are doing this on web version, this is probably because I made R reset the game (in all states; dead and alive). Not sure if you mean to reload the page on the web, or to restart in the actual game. If you are restarting by reloading the page, just press R without reloading the page to try again.

Probably just download it if you want the best experience (there are some weird things I don't know what to do about on the web build, like the screen being small and not centered on the player, sometimes it even scrolls, not present if you download the game).

Not sure about the scary sounds you mean. Perhaps its because if you reload the page it cuts to a part of the song with a weird sound.

If you are confused about the game and how you should play, I totally understand - it's not user-friendly lmao. Just lmk if I should place the instructions in the description along with the controls, either way if you want instructions right now, just get shot in the game and open the information screen you see on the death screen.

Game was really fun and challenging. My only pet peeve would be the limited attacks of the boss which are pretty straightforward to dodge once you figure it out and when it gets repetitive, but for a jam pretty impressive and fun - and the critique is really minor relative to the good job done on the game (the freezing I thought was stuttering from the web build, didn't realize you put that in until I read some comments, it was a little frustrating). The take on the theme was good and entertaining. Great job!

I too have no idea what to do XD, can you clarify how you play the game?
