The animations of the boss are good. All attacks are prepared, letting you time to dodge. The position of the hero from profile is strange, a top view would had been better I think. Nice particle effects on spears. Well done.

Nicely done! I love the sfx, particles and the core concept of the game! On thing I noticed is that the pixelart is very inconsistent. An easy way to fix that would be to not scale the sprites, 1 pixel should be 1 pixel at all times :P

Nice little bossfight. I like how you warned where the falling fire blocks came. When you are directly up to his face, the boss can't really do anything, only like 2 attacks can even reach you there. I suspect you could get hit more than once without dying, so a little health indicator would be nice. But all in all, good game, well done!

Little boss fight, cool

I really liked it! The sprites and the animation were all super well done, I really like the sparkle effects when the boss does his moves. The sounds are nice and fitting, and the only real complaint I had was that standing right up on his chin was a pretty obvious cheese spot. Still, a great, fun boss battle!

This is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to hard! But I can't say I don't like it.

I really love anything about this beside the difficulty. A little bit more polish on the player character would have been useful but the boss is absolutely brathering!

This is one of the games I won't delete after testing!

The boss was tough, but fair. I got a bit further every time. Liked how attacks were telegraphed with animation and not just AoE on the ground.
