You can beat the bike race without using boost slide, but it's darn near frame perfect (about .1s leeway), and you need to hit every recycling boost, including the one that you don't get a chance to do until after touching the jump pad.

By the way, when I beat the biker, he didn't give me his bike. I just got a "Speedo", that $1 purchaseable in deep town (which I had skipped buying) that tells you your current speed. Out of curiosity, I went back to Deep Town and purchased the original Speedo. Two speedometers sitting in my inventory now, still no bike. </3

PS: While vertical movement is kind of a pain until you get wall jump, movement in general in this game is INCREDIBLY fun once you have all the vertical mobility upgrades. You did good, seven. <3

Plus, it kind of makes sense for an ordinary human to die when shot by superheated plasma.

For the record, on my second playthrough where I did have the bullet parrying relic, I had so much fun fighting the second boss that I considered letting him kill me just so I could fight him again. ^.^

First of all, the combat in this game is wonderful. Very, very fun. Good job!

A few things that could be improved (tested from Windows x64 version):

- Definitely find someone to fix the grammar of the game text and notes. It's extremely low quality currently.

- The game sets itself to full screen any time you enter a new area or use a shrine, no matter how many times you attempt to set it to "Windowed" in Options. This is a problem because weaker computers run this game at maybe 30% speed in fullscreen, which is unplayable. Please fix it to stay in "Windowed" mode when that option is selected.

- The second boss's melee combo seems to stunlock you for all three hits most of the time, perhaps because of lag I experience on my weaker computer. If this is unintentional, please reduce the hitstun of that combo.

- Please put the bullet parrying relic in a location that we MUST pass to proceed. I completely missed it on my first playthrough, and beating the second boss without it is very hard in a decidedly unfun way.

- Please add a way to re-fight bosses, either in an optional shrine area or via the menu.

Thank you for making such a purely fun game. I had a blast! ^.^
