Really fun quick game. I could get into a game where you play as the boss for sure.

I had so fun in  this game because I loved the claw mechanic to smash the hero, and you got me when I read GAME OVER... I don't spoiler more =) Even without a good art, the aesthetic was very good, max enjoiment! Fun fact: I was playing with music background of another game and I tought that was your game sound background! I suggest to play this game with the game "Noon raiser" in the background xD

Developer

Thanks, I am very proud of that ending. And yeah, I am not that good with art, so I tried my best with basic shapes, I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for playing!!

Cool game. It reminds me of a minigame from Super Mario Party. A little bit too hard for me but still, nice work!

Developer

That's cool. Thanks for playing!

Hey another "You're the Boss" game kinda like mine! I like seeing these types of entries! Though we have different gameplay styles going on between our games.

Really cool! I liked the design (and particle effects!) of the boss and everything. It was awesome feeling like a towering behemoth. It's pretty hard though. I kept trying but I only hit the character a few times after several attempts. Then the hearts started raining down! Lol it's a pretty tough game.

Overall though super well done! It feels classic, but also a new experience playing as a boss like that. Great job!! 

Developer

Thanks!, I really wanted to make that feeling of being a towering behemoth, so I'm glad you liked it!  :>

I LOVE the vibe of this game! It's a really classical type of bossfight, having multiple "parts" of the boss to control and hearts for the player to collect is super cool. The boss death animation is super nostalgia inducing, I love that the "game over" menu is hidden behind that.

Well done!

Developer

Thankss! <3

Great idea for the theme!! Actually pretty difficult, the player AI is good!

Developer

Thanks!, the player AI was the hardest thing to do, I'm glad it came out good (^u^)
