Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! I wanted the game to feel like a kind of poorly-localized old Japanese arcade game. The first boss is a Tanuki, I called it "Tricky Racoon Dog" since that's the kind of overly literal word salad you'd get if you put that word through google translate lol.
I originally went a bit harder with the poor localization across the game (Like on the tutorial screen), but figured it was probably more important for people to actually understand the instructions so I ended up dialing it back. So maybe some of my original intent got a bit lost.
