Excellent art and I loved your take on the theme! Great entry overall, especially for a first time jam!

Submitted

I've seen very few boss fights at all during the jam, so this entry immediately stands out. I wish some of the boss attacks were a bit more telegraphed, though

Submitted

Great concept, love the art style and audio!

Nice! A fun, retro boss fight. I loved the art style, and it was fun getting to know the attack patterns.

The only thing it was missing, for me, was a health bar for the boss. I played a couple of dozen times, but gave up eventually, because I had no sense of whether I was remotely close to winning. The health bar can really help create that 'just one more try' feeling.

Thanks for letting me play this!

Thanks for the review! Yeah, in a post jam version I'm for sure gonna add a health bar, also if anyone is wondering it takes around 40 hits to beat the boss :)

A bit difficult when you get all attacks in one but polished and funny ! Congrats !

Got hooked, haven't managed to beat the boss though!

I didn't figure out how to dodge the low-flying blue light. If you don't jump, he will hit your head, and the jump is not high enough to jump over him.
Besides that, a good interpretation of the jam theme! Well done!

Developer

Thanks for taking time to review! I should've wrote under the game that double jumping is an option and you can dash through obstacles with W key

Submitted

Nice game! Game's lacking some polish, like music and the fact that when you die the player is just hidden. Also, I can't seem to shoot?

Submitted

Nice! It's hard, but in a way that made it very fun to learn/improve over multiple attempts.

Submitted

Fantastic art, love the fiery glow effect around the characters that lights things up especially. The actual jumping/platforming felt good, just agree with the other comments that found it very tough.

Submitted

Amazing artwork, the animations are really good but I only wish some of the attacks were given more telegraph time because its sooo difficult to know when some attacks are coming! Attacks like the purple hand and the mouth that shoots its tongue from the side have some telegraph time but the one I found the most difficulty with was the spinning yellow circle, that got me almost every time. Its pretty fun though and you did a lovely job.

Thumbs up to the retro art style!  Too hard for my poor platformer skills.  :D

Submitted

Cool game! Great job. But it's very difficult

Submitted

Nice little game with nice arts, but it is difficult.

There are some small bugs, when the character is dead, in fact the sprite is just hidden but you can still control it. Also if you fall in the pit the game is stuck.

Thanks for reviewing! Yeah turns out i have the kill floor to far back on the z axis so it doesn't hit the player, will fix in a post jam version

Submitted

I really liked the art, but I think the game is a bit too hard. Maybe make the player's hitbox smaller?

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! In a post jam version I'm definitely gonna change the players hitbox to make it more forgiving during gameplay :)

Submitted

Well as everyone has mentioned the art and animations are just amazing, but the gameplay is really fun as well with the movement and the boss' attacks! could maybe use a bit more range on the player's attacks to make it a bit less difficult but still, overall fantastic work! :D

Submitted

Nice retro artstyle, music and sfx. I like it!

Submitted

Love the artstyle! Felt the game was a little confusing to play tho😂 Cant wait to see it after further polishing!

Submitted

Nice pixel art man 5/5

Developer

Thanks! It took quite a while to draw it :)
