Cool idea, I think it's executed pretty well and also pretty funny. Like others have stated I wish there was more feedback for the player when you use a specific attack.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback and support.

The concept is fun, it just lacks feedbacks on our character when we attack. For a gigantesque character, i find his a little too fast and it lacks animations when we attacks. For a prototype, it works and i hope that you'll continue your project to help it reach its full potential !

A silly concept! When the guy with the spoon came out that was funny. A nice take on the theme too, having a border invincible boss. 

In the future, you could add some upgrades, some more particle effects, upgrades just to make the game more engaging.

Nice job overall!

Very funny story! I like how you play as an invincible character that needs to retire. It would be nice to make the combat system based on this idea that you have to pretend you are fighting even though you are invincible. Something like if the character doesn't pretend well enough then they can't retire. At the moment, it's just too easy to spam the attacks and win the game.

I like the thrust of the game, wish there was a bit more to do as it's a fun premise.

Cool idea & fun story! The abilities could be more satisfying though, since clicking stuff doesn't feel impactful as is.

Thanks for the feedback snd support.

Nice take on the theme ! Those poor guys never stood a chance. The last boss looks cool as hell ! His attacks would have been cooler with some juicy FX ! But as is, it was still cool to blast those poor heroes :D Good job !

good theme reveal. I think it would be nice if the heroes didn't bump into each other and maybe there would be a little more effect when attacking the boss. Overall, thank you for the game!

hahaha I really liked the idea and the animations were pretty nice, the boss sprite was also very well designed and I loved the music, it fit the game fairly well. I think having the heroes not collide with each other would've made it a lot more engaging but it was still a fun experience for me. The dialogue from the boss while facing the heros was also a nice touch that reminded you why you were doing all this. I really enjoyed :D

I would love it if you could check out JANTA-9, I made something with a focus on bosses aswell

Developer

Thanks for your support and the feedback. i will be checking out your game Thanks.

Interesting idea. The writing was funny and the art was nice. I would've loved more narrative thrown in since that seems the front and center or some sort of thing to hinder the retirement. Good work.

Developer

Thank you so much for your feedback and support.

Nice art! And the music was delightful.

Personally, would have tossed in a bit more story between the waves, so you really feel the agony of not being able to retire as you fight yet another round of heroes. But then, I'm a narrative designer, so I'm always thinking about how to add in more story!

Thanks for the feedback and support your right i also wanted to add more but didn`t really have the time.

It was fun. Great art and music. Cool idea.

Cool take on the theme! Playing as the boss defending against waves of heroes is a fun perspective shift, and the art style creates a solid atmosphere.

From a gameplay perspective, I felt that 10 waves was a bit too long for the current loop—around 7 waves might have kept the pacing tighter and more engaging. I also missed having a UI indicator for cooldowns to better plan my clicks. Adding more 'juice' (impactful VFX and SFX) would really make the combat feel more satisfying.

Great effort from the whole team, congrats on finishing the project!
