I like the presentation of this game a lot. You have great pixel art, music and the boss design is really cool!
I'm not sure I understand how the parry works however. I haven't been able to get the projectiles to spin. Sometimes I live through the parry, other times I still die when the character is curled up. I can see the projectiles change color when they get close and I'm trying to time it with that, but no luck.
I think I'd recommend giving the player some health because dying in one hit feels very punishing. For a jam ideally you want to balance your game on the easier side. I'd love to come back and try this game again though if I'm missing something!
Awesome job!
CHEF BOSS!!!
Really liked the art and the music! well done :)
I can see the influence of Cuphead in this game. Well done finishing it!
You can consider adding some HP to the player, which could help to leave more room for risk. Right now, every mistake is unforgiving, so you have to play it safer, resulting in doing nothing for most of the time.
I loved the art of the game! The music and sound effects were also pretty good
