Hey Chris,
Thanks for playing I'm super glad you liked it!
To let you in on a secret the boss is actually a little easier without the shooty upgrade. The boss counts the number of hits he receives and gets faster at 5, 10 and 15 hits. And his health scales with your damage so, if you have 4 damage the boss has 80 health at 2 damage he has 40 so in theory you always need 20 hits to kill him. Now enter the shooting upgrade. That thing always deals 1 damage, becauseee... well I forgot to hook it up with the damage stat dbh :facepalm: Now you hit him 15 times with the projectile he is at max speed but you only took off 15 of the 40 health instead of the 30 I had intended :P
