WOW this boss certainly has a presence. The scale of him and that initial jump into the stratosphere left quite an impression on me. The actual fight and attacks were good as well, I could definitely see the potential here for a full release. The players attack is interesting, I enjoy the projectile rather than melee approach. The movement feels like it would work well with a finalized environment, at the moment it’s just kind of running and dashing out of the way of the bosses attacks, but i see the idea of the wall running and getting vertical to fight being very interesting for a final version.
Once the boss has dispensed with his weapon, it became a bit trivial defeating him. Maybe he could hold onto it for a bit longer? Is jumping and then ducking supposed to result in a dash? Nice start, interesting to see where you take this !
As an early draft, I can see the promise in this game. The controls work well and the art direction on the custom assets is fun. If you take the time to do more with the project, I encourage you to focus on the "vibe" of the game. Some of that is straightforward, like adding sound and environment art, but also, I would focus on making more gameplay mechanics. The throwing knife is cool, but what else can our character do? I'm sure you already have a million ideas, though! That being said, this is a great start and I hope you take it further!
