So I did manage to beat the first one, but the second really got to me man hahah I almost did get close to beating him - but just couldn't. I'm assuming you didn't do playtests so it's okay.

This particular attack was oftentimes a checkmate. I'm glad to hear you'll be ironing out these kinks post-jam, because the combat here can be really good, combined with your spin mechanic. I also would wish to see if you make it so that I can go to the deflect state instantly no matter what I'm doing. Because I had to like stop shooting half a second prior in order to get a guaranteed parry.

A solid entry aside from these nitpicks! Hope you also had fun making this.

Really fun game! The visuals and style are very appealing, especially the boss's second phase. Unfortunately, no matter how hard I tried, the first boss kept destroying me in phase two))) But I really enjoyed it—great work!

I loved the details in the characters. I really wanted to see all of them but I spent 15 minutes losing to the commando guy. The second phase on the first boss is way more fun than the first half. He's animated to shoot so many different weapons. I wish I could have seen the other bosses but I'll have to try another time!

Overall, I think the art is fantastic but I lack the skill to see more of it!

Very good game! The art is very beautiful! Very fun, I really liked it! I think adding an automatic shot instead of clicking to shoot every time, because that makes me keep clicking non-stop to be able to shoot, and I also noticed that there is little time to do some damage to the boss without having to dodge something! Otherwise, it's incredible! Congratulations on your game!

wow really enjoyed the sfx and the art, feel of the game in general, I loved the second phase of the first bossfight, the hacker fight was cool.

I had so much fun playing this game, and I am a sucker for this type of atmosphere and art direction.

I really enjoy the Spin mechanic, even though it is quite simple it definitely adds a lot to the game, especially in the Hacker fight, I absolutely loved that fight and using the Spin well was essential (obviously to get through 2nd phase, but also during one of the phase 1 attacks). It really felt fun!

The mechanics and telegraphs of the fights were very creative. And every time you "lose full control of your character", it is quite intuitive what you have to do and also very fun to figure it out before it is too late (eg, during zero gravity, and when you have to reflect the last boss's Kamehameha).

Thematic and overall vibe was incredible. Poor dude just wanted a new bike and ended up with a throne... Fantastic!

Fantastic pixel art for a game jam! Bosses were really tough as well lol. There's a few things I would change about the balancing. First, I would maybe make each attack slightly less frequent to give the player some time to run away or attack. Some of the attacks are also really hard to dodge, like the one where he shoots four particles at once with the blue one being the second from the bottom: It's impossible to time this properly since there isn't any variable jump height, and the player jumps way higher than the blue particle for him to deflect. My solution would either be adding some form of variable jump height or have him only shoot three projectiles rather than four.

I also found myself having a hard time with the controls. It feels really awkward using the space key with Z and X. Just make those few improvements and the game will already feel a lot better to play!

Daamn, that Rambo cosplayer is really immortal :D

Good visuals. Loving the sounds and music!

Really fun game! :O I loved the variety in boss fights and how each one had unique attack patterns. The telegraphing was solid—I always felt like I had a fair chance to react. :) The low-gravity phase in the second boss was a cool twist! Took a moment to get used to, but it felt great once I did. ^_^ The art and character designs were really nice, and the dialogue sequences added a lot of charm! Some extra VFX and sound effects would take this to the next level. :D Also, that spinning laser attack on the third boss got me every time! lol Overall, amazing work! If you get the chance, I’d love for you to check out my game too! :)

Fun but the controls do feel a bit janky and unresponsive? Its really hard to deflect the bullets so i just did not use that mechanic at all, the boss variety is nice.

The artstyle and the general feel of the game is quite nice. Feels raw, very motherfucking foul mouthed dialogue!

Good game and good job :D

😄 Oh, so my bosses were tough? Yours are definitely giving them a run for their money! The scripted laser scene with the hacker was... an experience. It had its moments, and while it got a bit stuffy, I can see the effort that went into making it challenging.

Overall, you’ve done a solid job. The core experience kept me hooked, and I’m curious to see how you’ll refine things further. Keep going!

Fun game! Really liked the variety in bosses and all the different boss attacks, and I think most of them had pretty good telegraphing, felt like I always knew what the boss was about to do. Especially the low gravity phase in the second boss, was a bit confusing at first, but it feels cool to do! The controls felt a bit clunky, especially the spin, sometimes I spun for a way shorter time than other times, which was a bit annoying. 

The art and character design is really nice, loved the dialog sequences! With some polish, like some VFX and more sound effects, this would be sick

Also, not sure how I was meant to dodge the spinning laser attack on the third boss, always took a hit on that one, but it didn't do that much damage so I was fine. Overall, really nice game!

Great job team!!! The pixel art is really nice, the grievance cover pic goes hard and the background environments and characters are very well detailed and interesting. You nailed the perspective on foreground and background and the scenes have real depth to them. I wish the projectiles matched the aesthetic of the rest of the scene a bit more, I found them to be a little too "retro" to fit the rest of the assets but they do have good contrast with the background so that is a positive. The music is solid and the characters are pretty well written, I enjoyed the intro dialogue sequences. I really struggled with the gameplay unfortunately, and could not do more than a quarter of the first boss' health bar in damage in 6 or 7 attempts. I think his attacks are not spaced out enough and the knockback lasts for too long so if you are hit by one attack sequence it often puts you in a bad position so that when the knockback ends you are in real danger of being hit again. Also, the jump having a fixed height made it near impossible to reflect the blue bullets if they were too low or too high since the jump just went a certain height every time. That being said, I enjoyed the world building you all did: the characters had strong visual identities and personalities developed through dialogue, and the backgrounds had great detail and composition. Nice entry, and keep it up!!

The bosses in this one are pretty cool, I like the variety of attacks that they have. The pixel art is solid too, although I think the blurriness on some sprites is a little off-putting. My main grievance (haha) with this game is that the controls felt a bit awkward at times and I do wish the boss attacks had a bit more telegraphing/build up to them. Sometimes it just felt like the bosses were pulling things out of nowhere.

Also, it took me quite a long while to figure out what I was supposed to do during the low gravity phase on the 2nd boss. That attack is a cool concept but some sort of indicator for people who haven't figured out the parry mechanic/don't see the random floating blue projectiles would help out a lot.

Anyway, good entry :), would be curious to see what this would look like with a ton more polish
