This was fantastic! The idea and the execution are amazing! It's so rare for a boss in a game jam game be this good! It telegraphs all of its moves and while there can be cheap shots at the start of the game (getting by multiple bullets right as you start), I had a great time fighting the boss and it felt fair. The whole concept of making an art piece from the fight was also quite fun. I can imagine this concept going even further, but as they say, less is more :) And this really proved it, great job!

Thanks so much for the feedback and kind words!
I really tried to focus on the loop of fight the boss, paint the canvas, look at the gallery...and the most important part of the game I thought would be the boss fight! I'm glad it felt like a good fight as this was the first boss & bullet hell type enemy I've created.
I agree the boss can be cheap at the start of the fight, I should have added a timer or something before the fight kicked off.
Thanks again, and thanks for playing!
