The music and sfx are very fitting and good at setting the mood. I like how you use effects to show health rather than a UI. I think the hand slap attack could use some more indicators, had no idea it was going to occur at first.
Randomness! randomness!! =D i liked throwing dynamite at it, the negative effects it rolled on the wheel didn't seem too bad but the laser hands got me =D
Awesome style! The hammer attack is a bit slow, but I assume that's part of the games balance. Great job.
Love the laugh tracks, makes it feel like such an enjoyable bizarre boss fight!
Super fun :) The boss is well-designed and it's easy to understand the attack patterns. I also really like the whole circus-theming behind the whole thing
Great game! It was an amazing time, the boss was well made and the attacks fun to dodge (although the attack when he slams his hands on the ground, the safe point is always in the middle), the controls were smooth and the gameplay loop easy to pick up. I also enjoyed the various changes between phases, like the field status, and the "unfairness" in the last phase! Wheeley McTwist feels truly a villain, personally I could see this as a part of a bigger game!
The artwork is incredibly well done on this one, the game LOOKS FANTASTIC! The music was also very settling.. About the gameplay, I found that it was fun, for me the spear was OP.
I struggled with the laser attack from the boss, if waiting a liiittle longer for the attack to start it would be better? Idk, it is not something that compromises the experience. Great great work!
Really funy and cute design, works really slow on browser and hurted my experience but great game nontherless
Wow! This is awesome! Really liked the art style, it gets the old cartoon vibe perfectly and its very well polished! At first, the lack of an hp bar made me confused but the background changing was a nice touch!
Some weapons are weird to use but some are really fun! It keeps getting more and more impressive on the visual side and it's really awesome. 2D sections were also, really fun. The fixed camera made dodging some attacks quite tricky but I get it's for the vibes. Anyway, great job!
Very unique art style, I loved it.
It gives the boss attacks so much more depth, really like playing it, Good job!
I really enjoyed playing your game!
A super coherent atmosphere and a good balance between random effects and patterns that you learn to master :D
Well done :)
cool game, the controls feel a little unresponsive and the depth is very challenging, looks less picky than it is. attacking the hands is really hard

Nice stuff, it's not the snappiest controls but its fun to play with interesting boss design
This game has an amazing unique style in both music and visuals and some really fun gameplay and the boss itself is quite hard, but that makes sense considering it’s the namesake of the game (and presumably the only boss, i wasn’t able to beat it lol). I also like the intermission with the tomatoes, although i thought i had won the first time it added a lot of comedy to the game. If i had one critique, it’d be that the weapons are either too easy or too hard to use. I don’t think it’s a massive critique as obviously it’s supposed to be random; but i feel like i always wanted the spear or hammer and just waited out all other weapons.
Very cool boss design! I had a lot of fun playing this. Very good art direction too, nice to look at. Maybe some more attack variety would have been nice between the different phases.
I felt humiliated by the laughter, but I loved the game
Very fun, the 3d perspective takes some getting used to but the attacks are fair and well-designed. Also love the presentation.
Really like it a lot! Its was fun and VERY creative! One of the more unique ones I've played so far. Would love to see if it gets further development. Music was amazing and sfx were very fitting. The art as well was really really good! Honestly can't give enough praise xD
When the laser attack started, I suddenly realized that this was a 2D game—it caught me completely off guard! 😂 I really like the retro eerie yet cartoonish art style, and the music is very enjoyable. A small introductory tutorial would help in understanding the mechanics, but even without it, I quickly got the hang of things. Overall, the boss fight is very well executed. I had a great time—fantastic work!
