Oh please steal! I was trying to think of something that was a little more indirect and "non-violent" in the traditional sense sooooo this is kind of what came out as a result.
I also didn't have any real experience with making bosses or a boss rush type mode before so this was a definite learning experience for me. I wish I would've had more time to make more complicated patterns and varieties to the attacks but a lot of my work on the jam consisted of just a couple of nights during the week. I was however happy with how it turned out in the end and just glad I was able to submit something into the jam.
17 hits is pretty good! If you get around to trying Hard Mode again best of luck! It's definitely...challenging. Thanks for kind words about the game and acknowledgement about the UI, it's been great getting good feedback about that. And thanks again for playing!
