I suprisingly enjoyed this game. The graphics put me off slightly at first, however the game was fun. I did find the bosses were relatively easy, and I could just run up to them and mash x, and as well as that I could not read that patterns whatsoever, however smashing them down was really satisfying. Nice work. (Oh and side note, maybe export as a zip file rather than an installer)

hey really cool game! the boss battles were rather diverse and there was a surprising amount of content for a game jam game! i liked the battles but i do think they need a bit of balance. giving the player a chance to dodge boss attacks and making the patterns more clear would make them more fun i think. they dont have to be easy by any means, but it has to make the player feel like it is fair. i think you should continue working on this post jam, you have some really great stuff here, you could expand it into something even better! nice work!

im not sure if when you made a build of your game in GM Studio you changed the build from an installer ( i think is what the default is) to a single runtime executable. i had to run a whole installer thing in order to play. however, if you build it as a single runtime executable, once you download it, you can just double click to play right away.
