One-Eyed Pete returns again! I love the misdirection in the beginning. Had a great time playing on stream. It took me a bit to remember the cannonball gave me a double jump, but I think that's a brilliant dual-use of the mechanic. Great work. My only suggestion would be to give a rating at the end. You could base it off of how much health was left and how many coins the player collected, then it gives more incentive to repeat a play.

I STREAMED YOUR GAME! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1769376612 TIMESTAMP - 26:00
Very clever use of mechanics from your previous rounds, the use of the cannonball double-jump also as an attack especially! I really liked the surprise after defeating that initial octopus too, such an intense moment that really got me in the mood for a boss fight!
I'm so happy I went into this one blind seeing the comments would have ruined the surprise. Also even more happier that you continued with the same universe. The mechanic using the cannonball's was amazing after being hit by them through all these other rounds. Delighted to have played this on stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSUIomK5BB0 1:00:40
your game design was an absolute pleasure to experience! Of the best games of this round in my opinion!
The twist of the boss actually being giant was really cool. I think having the bosses eyes look at you was a nice addition as well. My main complaint is that it seems luck can screw you over sometimes, when all the cannonballs bounce off into the water.
One of the things I was hoping to achieve was a really cool boss reveal, but unfortunately I didn't quite hit the mark. However, I must say that your boss reveal was absolutely amazing and he was incredibly intimidating. I'm actually quite jealous! Overall, I had a lot of fun playing and even had to come back for a second time in order to defeat the boss.
On a minor note, I noticed a difference in the reaction of the cannonball hitting the arm when playing your game on two different computers. On one computer, the cannonball slowly fell to the ground, whereas on the other computer, it flew halfway across the screen. This difference changed my strategy while playing the game. Perhaps this is due to a framerate issue?
Really fun twist at the start, and really intuitive and clever way to damage the boss as well. I feel that the cannonballs are too slow, especially after rebounding, causing them to linger very long on the screen and cause some near impossible patterns (though I might just be bad haha). Didn't manage to finish it, but it was a great fight nonetheless.
I like the variety in attacks for the boss! I wish you could grab canonballs out the air as I wasn't very good at avoiding them haha, nice continuation with the canonball jump though!
I really enjoy the humor in this game! Each instalment so far has had something that made me laugh. The boss fight was very well done, and I look forward to what comes next for Pete. Great work!
Another well done chapter in this saga, can't wait to see the next one. Took me a lot of dead Pete's but I managed to get get the kraken. Fun and well done.
Super fun boss fight, and the part where the giant kraken head pops up is straight up iconic! Loved this.
nice job! the boss was really fun and after a couple tries i beat it hitless and got all the coins :D
