It is now updated with a new boss in level 5!, Check it out
Haven't beaten him yet, but I like the work you did on this boss. This felt more like a proper sword fight by allowing the boss to deflect back. This one was much more Sekiro-like imo and also I think this is the only fight to encourage me to use the dash more (the mantis lord overhead hit has iffy deflection sometimes as if I'm slightly off I can't deflect it even though I believe if you're directly under the enemy and they go straight down it should always be a deflection... Unless it's like the Tengu's rolling hit, which should be deflected like a normal attack) Also I'm curious about certain moves, and projectile attack build ups being deflected on close range. I feel like that should also be possible but they will always hit when you're in front of them, although similar moves from Sekiro like Isshin's Dragon Flash can be deflected whilst standing in front of him. That could be intentional but that's just probably me expecting it to follow Sekiro's aggressive gameplay.
Glad you like the design of this boss. I might add the parry mechanic to other bosses too, it works great in the the gameplay. Its kind of like giving a break to the player but it also feels like a sword fight like you said. I literally designed the air attack to encourage player to dash away. I will fix the parrying to projectile on close range.
Wait for the next update. As always, appreciate your comment.
I m also thinking about turn this into a full mini game consists of few levels and sell it for a few dollars. You think thats cool?

I just added a new mechanic to the game. Instead of parrying, you need to attack to "parry" attack. I really want to complete the game this summer, gd luck to me.
Also, I wonder if you would interested in trying out this boss. I could send you a private link through discord or something.
