Nice art, I liked the boss design and attacks! Didn't know if I was activating the shield properly though and ended up winning after dying.

Thanks for playing!
The main indicator of you using shield is displayed in the circular meter next to your hp bar, though I'd initially planned for the character to change sprites after activating shield. As for the other bug, I'm guessing that you got hit by a barrel's explosion after touching it, cuz I got a similar experience of that during playtesting.
