ARE YOU PROUD OF ME DEVELOPER!? This one goes crazy. The cinematic at the start is so cool and really hypes up this epic encounter. I have a couple gripes with how the character moves. The dash is a big one, as depending on how you've last inputted, it's either two or three inputs to dash. I think having the dash on a timer system rather than a "last three inputs" system could help a lot. All the attacks from the Null Beast were engaging and fun to evade, with one significant exception: The big red laser attack that can come from any direction does not feel fair, since especially given the janky dash controls, it comes too quickly to react to properly. Most of the time, you can't see the direction it comes from. While you usually have enough time to hit the dash button, it usually clips you first because it is incredibly fast, and even then there's a great chance you've unknowingly dashed deeper into its range since you couldn't see it. I just got in the habit of dashing in some direction after the end lag of each move and hoping that would be enough. The spiral directly at you attack is the better version of this one, though I do like that the effect sticks around. Sound effects were good, but the music is hurt by having none in first phase. Beating this game took a good number of tries, and not having music during the first couple minutes was aurally offputting, though it meant the musical kick in at phase 2 is hype as hell. Everything else about this game is awesome!
