Very interesting blend on genres and mechanics. It did feel pretty punishing to have the boss attack me while buying stuff, but with some tweaking, that can be solved. Well done! Thanks for making and submitting!
I just really fell in love with boss animations and main hero design. It's simple stickman with wings and pickaxe - but it has something awesome inside him.
That was fun to play, but controls are not so good how they can bee. He has a really big lerp.
Great entry, bud
Thanks! I appreciate your feedback
Never played a genre blend like this, it feels very nice too!
Yeah, it was a risky idea. Combining a fast paced genre like a boss fight with a slow paced genre such as a tycoon? But I'm glad how it turned out nonetheless!
its a very fun and original concept, good job!
Thanks!
A nice blend! I found it really difficult to do the shopping with the boss pestering me, but the concept was fun and I see a great base here!
Thanks! I have plans to update it soon. There are a lot of balance changes needed, lol
wow you made a game with solid taste!
I love how you made this dark style art with strong music to make it really unique and interesting. I would like to see more of this style.
Gameplay is sometimes not really clear how to fight, doge and do shopping at once, but setting foundation make it anyway cool.
Congratulations on your first submission!
I appreciate your thoughts! Yes, the game does not include a very well-written instructions list. I, however, will be updating the game in a separate project to add better instructions, rebalance the boss so easy mode is actually easy, add iFrames, and just add/cut/change things to make the game smoother and more playable!
While it doesn’t sufficiently balance the game, I updated the itch page instructions that I can still edit. Hopefully it makes the game easier to grasp (even if it’s still incredibly hard)
I think you’ve failed to upload the zip with the web export… I see the list of files to download and the game doesn’t load =(
Thank you! I was able to get it to work
Nice! I’ll try it!
