My only major complaint is that the hit boxes on the enemies are really big. Usually when you have full range of movement and the characters are rendered like a side view, the hit box is only the bottom half of the each character so that you can walk behind characters when you aren't in plane with them (Look at castle crashers for an example). The issue this brought up was that with the boss if you saw him coming at you from the bottom of the screen, there was a really good chance he was going to hit you regardless of what you did. That said I did finish the game after 4 or 5 tries.\r\rAlso as a side note I think I found a but where it you hit "R" while in game it takes you back to the title screen and afterwards the music never plays again even after you press space."},{"author_name":"kidando","author_uid":"31330","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 9:00pm","epoch":1440449700,"text":"@dalbinblue thats really really helpful.

A lot of the collisions with enemies feel a little bit unfair. It's easy to get hurt by barely brushing up against a monster - it would be nice if characters had a few pixels of leeway on the borders of their hitboxes.\rThe other big problem I found was that there was very little real feedback when the player got hurt, which led to a lot of unexpected deaths because I didn't realize when I had taken damage."},{"author_name":"kidando","author_uid":"31330","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 9:28pm","epoch":1440451380,"text":"Thanks for the feedback @NickMakesGames."},{"author_name":"ashbyte","author_uid":"58030","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 9:40pm","epoch":1440452100,"text":"Dark Souls - Confectionery Treat Edition\rThis is is so hard, I love it!

I liked that running away is your defensive system that has limited fuel. It lead to some really tight situations ideal for these kind of action games.\r\rPersonally, I found the graphics to be weakest, specifically when it came to feedback and repetitiveness. For feedback, it was hard to tell when I got hit, and how long I remained invincible after I got hit. Similarly, I think some extra visual feedback when hitting the enemies would have helped. For repetitiveness, the ground and the walls could use a bit of spice. Maybe some chalk drawings, trash cans, or pebbles?"},{"author_name":"General","author_uid":"16507","time":"Sep 13, 2015 @ 3:22pm","epoch":1442157420,"text":"I managed to kill the boss! \rLiked how could accelerate and run away.\r\rThe video reviews of the games I played: https:\/\/youtu.be\/gAPMEoLs5yA\rYour game is at 5:30"}],"images":["ld33\/31330-d800086d975371abc0917a770b39cde3.jpg","ld33\/31330-eb0f1b8a1e1c8c2c57763e45d4dfc112.jpg","ld33\/31330-8c257e6397860217c3b66d97aec075a3.jpg","ld33\/31330-a568c599a1b443027b6ff3bb3c86ed3b.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/gamejolt.com\/games\/monsters-vs-cookies\/88225","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/31298z3l73t8ebv\/MonstersVsCookies.zip?dl=0","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"9744","g_author":"31330","g_event":"LD33","g_eventkey":"29","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"9778","g_title":"Monsters Vs.
