Haha, very cool game! Just that I was wondering what the end goal was, the player kept respawning lol

But enjoyed the game and so did the viewers. Here's how I played the game:

Thank you for playing, loved your playthrough! Basically if the boss beats the hero 10 times he will rage quit and you as the boss win. Hope that helps :)

interesting mechanics!! reminds me of the dark queen of mortholme and easily THE funniest dialogues in the jam !
can't believe there was a ur mum joke and the "chat...chat"

Developer

Thank you! dark queen of mortholme was definitely a big inspiration!

Really cool concept! Getting to choose the boss’s moves—damn, that’s such a fun twist. I could easily spend hours on this if this turns into a full version with more characters and maybe random hero & themes
