     Thanks for your feedback. I am glad the style reminds you of Crash Bandicoot and Spyro, because I was going for an ps1/n64 style actually. I was  lazy with the enemies though. I had plans to make another enemy that was a wizard that moved away and shot projectiles, but I ended up scrapping that idea because I put them far back in the development plan, and by the time I got around to them, there was only one day left. On the original release, I had a bunch of build errors delaying the release, so I got anxious about that happening again with the second release.

     Earlier on in development, I experimented with the ability to move the camera, but I couldn't figure out any intuitive buttons to map it to on keyboard, and imagined some people accidentally pressing 1/2 (what camera was mapped to) and spinning the camera to a terrible angle.  I also couldn't figure out how to get right-stick input on controller, and I thought using the bumpers for the camera was confusing.

Glad you liked the boss battle! I've always loved bosses that have visible damage outside of HP-bars, and since you use a shrink bolt in the game, I thought it was perfect to make the boss get shrunk more and more, but go faster and faster to make up for it's smaller size. It also doubles as having a boss that gets harder as it goes on. Thank you for playing, and I loved your game too!

For rotating the camera you could perhaps have it switch between four possible angles, and to change angle you can press Q/E on keyboard and LB/RB on controller. To make it a bit less disorienting you could lerp the camera to smoothly rotate rather than immediately jump to the new angle. And you could try setting the timescale to zero while the camera is rotating so nothing can move and kill the player while they're adjusting their view.

Yeah visible damage on enemies is great, much more punchy and visually impressive than a health bar. It was a great reuse of an already implemented and familiar mechanics. And thanks for the kind words lol.
