Very cool design and mechanics here. Enjoyed the simple graphics too, cool hair physics haha. The bosses were quite hilarious, I was able to get to the eye boss but that one just seemed impossible. The difficulty was too harsh for me overall even though I usually enjoy hard games. The bosses were just fine but the map felt too confusing and twisted for its own good, I'm afraid. The movement was also so slippery that I kept overshooting jumps. The character should also have a longer recovery time after getting hit, now just one enemy can off you easily. One nitcpick also: it's not entirely clear which one of the options you're choosing when given one.

Overall, great design and execution but I just found it too cumbersome, sorry.

Did you get the double jump or dash upgrade? the double jump upgrade can be found to the right and up from the drop off, while the dash can be found three rooms to the left and two rooms up from the drop off. While you can theoretically beat all bosses with only the stick and no powerups, you really need either the double jump or the dash else the next few bosses will be of a nightmarish difficulty. Finding a few Inkhearts helps a ton. Only reason why I didn't force the players to get some of those powerups before the boss is because it was designed to be a speedrun type game that allows some progression skips.

Seriously though, not even I can beat that boss without dash, double jump, or with just three hearts... (also if you fall next to it instead of falling directly into it you can dodge its attacks a lot easier)

I didn't, didn't think that the game would allow me to ignore items needed for a boss I could still access. Tried playing this again but it didn't exactly go well as I couldn't even pass the nose boss, no idea how I did it on the first try earlier as now it was incredibly hard. The attacks are way too fast and you can't know where they're coming from in advance so it seems very rng-based if you win it or not.

Don't know if you could do that boss later more easily though because it doesn't give you anything that seems mandatory at that point.

You know you could have reloaded your save with R. The game has a functioning save system, just no main menu. Its a shame you ended up losing your progress because you can complete the game right after beating the nose (or hand)! As for the attacks, there is a pattern! the nose will only attack in the first three rows up from the ground, and like lightning it will never attack in the same row twice in a row. Once you learn that it becomes a game of jumping through the space that the last bullet traveled through, or you can cheese the boss (by staying in the fourth row up). If you stay on the ground and run right, you should almost never get hit by spikes, as you will typically recover from the attacks in time.

Well damn, didn't know reloading a save would work even after coming back later. Yeah, I noticed that the attacks never come from the same place twice in a row but the boss just starts spamming the attacks on low hp so much that I couldn't do it anymore. Will give it another shot later.
