yeah, I guess the funnies interpretation of "play as boss"
Death to DeathLord69420Xx! Good game. I like how the king-boss looks, i did not like the drawing of DeathLord69420Xx the same way. Some Boss like soundtrack was missing. Aside of that nothing to critisize. Good game!
Despite the idea is very present in other games, I think that you managed to give it a unique flavour. Good job! <3
Seen a couple of these "play as the boss" games but this is easily one of my favorites! Very well done
I like scale difference between the adventurer and the boss. Also enjoy the attack pattern of the boss. Good job!
foolish boy! hahaha!
The hero's AI seems very interesting, I don't know if you did anything fancy with it but it really does feel like an player avoiding attacks, great job!
Thanks man. We're very proud of our skillful player AI.
XD
I really liked the game, i think the gameplay is a little repetitive but that only makes the player feel more like a video game boss. The only thing i can see is that the game needs more dialogues as right now most of the dialogues are repeated over and over again. The movement of the 'Player' is amazing it really feels like a real player.
This was charming and very well done. I really like the idea of going through the different phases as the boss and I think this could be a really fun full game idea with a little more time put in.
This was a very fun game to play through. I especially like how the player gets new abilities as he grinds, so you always have to learn something new.
I try to leave feedback in my comments. For this one I would say it was a little bit too repetitive. This different boss abilities like shooting fireballs and stomping were a nice addition, but I felt it needed something a bit more. It was still fun though and entertaining for a while. Nice work!
Thanks yeah, we just wanted to avoid a large scope so we could make sure the game worked properly in time for the deadline. Would have liked to maybe add more phases to the battle etc.
fun game, cool idea - the bit about the grind is really funny XD
very nice game! i liked the many ways in which you can challange the player, who is very fast and precise btw. Also cool music ;)
Music by me :)
