aww sorry you struggled with the boss! Ya, he doesn’t shoot until his final phase, and he does have a looot of power, but if you get powerups he goes down pretty fast. Was hard to find the balance between not too long w/out p-ups, and not too short with them. he says “what” for each phase (though there’s admittedly no differences between the phases until the final, something we’d change in an updated version).
Thanks so much for playing and so glad you enjoyed what you did! :)
