This is a great idea! I really loved the visuals and the music and the twist was great. I did run into a couple of problems but I'm sure they could be ironed out:
- The robot felt kind of clunky to control, maybe adding a little bit more acceleration and lowering the default jump height would help with this
- You can fly as the robot by shooting and then jumping repeatedly because shooting refreshes your jump
- The monster's attacks felt kind of jank + could have been introduced better and i lost at the end because of this (maybe have an option to retry the boss a limited number of times instead of forcing the player to restart right away?)
- For some reason the robot's dash animation is the same as the monster's but this is almost definitely super easy to fix
Overall, this is a great concept which was executed very well. Great job!
