Real Final Boss by Nifty Key

[raw]
made by Nifty Key for LD26 (JAM)
We took one of our favorite parts from video games, and reduced our entire game to it: boss fights.

A bit too many features had to be cut. You'll probably have some unfair deaths because of it. In spite of this, the game is quite forgiving.

Some known bugs:
*The game flickers prohibitively in Chrome, but is playable in Firefox and IE.
*Bosses can kill you when dying or when entering the screen.

We're pretty happy with our first game jam experience. If anything, we have a base for a concept that we enjoyed working on and playing.

Nice minigame. At one point bosses stopped spawning though? I like the music!

Thanks for playing it. There are only 3 bosses and a distinct lack of an ending.

It needs more work to be a full game but I really like the Atari 2600 looking style and the boss visuals. Could be very cool and fun with more work. Keep at it. Let me shoot, etc, make it easier to dodge, and all that.

I also got massive z-fighting with the heads and hands in chrome. Not sure if it's a browser bug or what.

We might push a fix for the Chrome bug under the guise of "platform porting".

Yeah, it's definitely not a full game. But it's got potential.

Nice work! You really captured the essence of boss fights, good move with the autofire. Also like the dialog from the hero, gave it a cool personality.

Gotta say, the flickering was extreme for me. It worked fine otherwise but the bosses needs to be more exiting, The patterns was kinda boring.
