Thank you so much for playing! In hindsight I would love to have made stage 1 shorter (maybe 3/4 health compared to current), but my play testing was restricted to “Why on earth does the player healthbar not go down when it worked earlier?!”.
I just scraped in under the 3 hours on this one, with reusability of the boss code being the only way it worked out - that and the art and sound all being 1 quick attempt and immediately put it in the game!
