Had a great time with this on stream. Love the varied phases and attack patterns. Sure you know by now, but the W key only gave a little jump and the space bar gave the full jump. Great concept and well executed. Great work.

Solid fight! Good variety of boss attacks and good balance of difficulty: not too easy but not too hard. Only points of feedback from me would mostly be quality of life, mainly with the jump. I couldn't do a full jump with the W key but could with spacebar, not sure if that was intentional or not but I think it should be made clearer how to do a full jump.
pretty fun! loved the first and second bosses' attack patterns but i really liked the second phase of the first one an how it changed the platforming!
Great sprites thematically placed, nice combination of shooting at the target while the environment is the one damaging you it was a nice cognitive shift when playing the game.
Sorry for confusing you hehe on stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSUIomK5BB0 1:27:01
(Had to play again off stream due to my toaster computer)
This is super fun, and the music makes it quite calming which is nice. Love the different attacks! I never actually managed to complete it, but I got pretty close once, I think the boss had 5 health left. I kept getting hit by the attacks, I got a bit better at dodging with some practice. Great job!! :)
Really fun. I liked the variance in attacks, which is one of the things I think makes for a good bossfight. A lot of the attacks also just looked pretty cool, like the one where the heart pieces come together in phase 2. I liked how the eye kept changing places so you had to track where to shoot him in the first phase, and I almost wish there was something like that kept for the second phase. Also, the W key doesn't really work as a jump key, I think that may be a bug.
I think you should have specified that W and Space are two different jumps. I was using W and found it impossible to dodge several attacks until I realized there was another jump height. It was very fun though once I figured that out.
Really fun! The attacks were nicely telegraphed and the movement felt smooth. The only issue I had was falling off of the bottom moving platforms respawns you where the old upper platforms used to be, which causes you to fall, usually right back into the stomach acid. The heart was much easier for me. Other than that, nice work!
Really cool idea ! The different patterns are really fun and it was really challenging to have to aim while dodging, that was really smart !
It was really awesome seeing you progress with this as the round went on! You had a lot of little touches that really went a long way to make it a solid boss fight. I'd maybe give the boss a little less health? You had cool stages to the fight, but when I made a mistake and died having to start over started to feel repetitive. That's also advice I realized I also have to give myself next time after how my entry this round turned out haha. Good work!
I like it a lot. The game is a lot of fun and provides a good challenge, maybe a little too difficult in the last half but it's still really good fun and it'll keep me coming back again for sure
Challenging boss fight with a lot's of different patterns. Great entry!
