I’m glad you had fun and found it challenging! That’s what I was going for!
And thank you for the feedback! Currently the 2nd boss doesn’t spawn the hands if they’re within a certain distance of the player, I could probably increase that distance to help out with that issue.
As of right now for the 3rd boss, the indicator for the attacks is the rotation of the tentacles, but adding a red aoe indicator would be a good idea to add in a future update and future projects.
The boss also attacks with a tentacle in retaliation whenever hit, so the strategy I found most effective in testing was to stop shooting when my health got low
