I spend ONE HOUR to bit the bosses in a Normal mode, I can not imagine how to bit in Expert Mode, Well Done! For me this game is in TOP-3 for sure

Congrats on beating the game on expert, I designed it to be challenging even for me (after playtesting the game for almost 20 hours during the two weeks) so this is no small feat! As far as I'm aware you're the first one who made it!

Thanks! The black hole was inspired by this shader: https://www.shadertoy.com/view/tsBXW3
It uses sphere tracing to simulate 3d rays that bend around the black hole until they hit the accretion disk or the hole itself. The rays that escape are projected back to the 2d viewport and give the distortion effect. My version is simplified since I didn't need as much detail for a pixel art game and I wanted to make sure it didn't slow the game down. I added some constraints to limit the distortion to a certain radius, otherwise you could see reflections of the hero and the boss around the hole and the whole level was slightly distorted and looked a bit jarring. For the transition I just played around with the hole radius, bend force and accretion disk angle. The exit transition uses a similar shader with no accretion disk or black hole, only distorting the level.

For anyone getting the game crashed/freezed, allow the page to store cookies and then reload:
Since it is apparently stuck in an infinite loop trying to access local storage that is why it is crashing/freezing:
Sorry about that! Were you using private browsing by any chance? The game will not work properly if the browser doesn't have access to localStorage for saving data. Otherwise I'm not sure what would be causing it to crash, I tried multiple browsers and it was running fine on my laptop. I'll upload desktop builds after the end of the voting period for people who are having issues with the web version.
