Really great game, love the concept and it also feels really nice to play. The only thing I was missing was some hit-feedback and maybe even the player's health bar.

But it was a lot of fun none the less. Keep it up!

Thanks for the feedback! It's pretty much what I gathered on my own but I didn't really have time for that last bit of polishing. Perchance I can fix it up after the jam, though I think I'm gonna focus on adding this boss to Ruptured!

Yeah getting everything in you want during those 48h really is tough. But I definitely gotta check out Ruptured then.

Superb. Played til round 21 when I had all the upgrades unlocked. That player won't give up though huh...

Developer

Man, that player character has more determination than I think I'll ever have XD

I also find it interesting how you managed to make this an extension to the steam game you seem to be developing.

Developer

I needed to learn how to make boss fights, so I forced myself to make one in 48 hours. It also meant I could reuse some audio and graphics, and make a graphical style that I am familiar with!

Really cool concept!

A nice little game and quite challenging. Nice non-distracting music, but it didn't motivate me much. I had the impression that the boss doesn't react to the controls as it should sometimes /fireweapons? I only bounced to the hero... maybe that's the intention?/. I made it to the 10th round, not sure if that's a lot or not enough? Theme accomplished, I enjoyed the game.
