The dialogue is funny and the boss fight is really innovative. The game has a lot of aspects that makes it fun to play. I have to agree with others that the boss fight was too hard. The simplistic style with the lighting is also visually nice to look at. Good work!

Thank you for the feedback!

I'll make the boss easier as soon as the rating ends :)

This game was so nice! I couldn't beat the boss though, but I loved art and music. Congratulations on getting this complete in a few days!! It does work so nice

Developer

Thank you for playing!

I've been told to nerf the boss. I'll do it when ranking ends.

The atmosphere here is good, you've nailed the retro aesthetic pretty well. I loved the elevator password dialogue, I thought it was really funny. The boss battle was tough as nails. We both did so little damage, but all the environmental objects hit for so much. The quick time event for the jump attack is so difficult to hit, and even when it appears I'm in the white zone it still does no damage. The battle system seems awesome, just needs to be a little balanced I think.

Thank you for the feedback. YEs, the battle system need a little bit of balancing, it was very hard for me to test the game I kept losing boss battles all the time ahhaha.

When the rate period ends I'll update it :)

I might be a noob, but the timings in battle are pretty weird and very uncomfortable. Most of the time getting hit feels unfair.

Overall pretty nice, I especially liked the music

Yeah, the jump attack is pretty "special". I wanted to make it more difficult, but maybe it ended up being strange. At the end of the rating I'll publish another version.

I appreciate your feedback!
