Thanks for trying out my game! The Scripulous Fingore enemies are pretty tough — they really force you to switch your weapons between slots to get around their fingers. As for the first boss, are you talking about the Mimic, or Giant Gazer? If the Mimic, then I can see why it could take a bit long, since you won't have access to any strong weapons at that point. Thanks for the feedback about that and the shooting mechanic; if I pursue this game in the future, then I'll see what I can do to make the early bosses less tedious and the shooting more responsive.
