Yeah unfortunately the boss bugged out when I exported the game for the last time -- I had it working on my first export, but I realized I needed to fix something (completely unrelated thing), and when I re-exported it, the bosses' animations weren't set correctly and it did not shoot projectiles for 2/3 of its attack animations. As for falling into the pit, it's a bit of a byproduct of not having time to include a tutorial, but it's meant for you to use the shotgun to propel yourself upwards! Shotgun shots will apply a backwards force to you additive-ly to your current velocity, so jumping and shooting straight down will send you straight up out of the pit!

Definitely a lot of stuff I wish I could have included/fixed (#1 would have been a tutorial, big miss on that, but I know for next game jam!), but I definitely want to re-visit this game in the future as a longer project. Thanks so much for playing and for your feedback!

Totally agree on finding the last enemy, I also ran into this quite often in play-tests after I had submitted. In the future, I'd likely add a very obvious outline shader of some sort on enemies if they are the last 2-3 alive and none have taken damage for like 5 or so seconds.

As for the pit, I mentioned this in the reply above you, but the idea is for you to use the shotgun as a launcher out of it! I didn't get to include a tutorial unfortunately, but the shotgun will add velocity in the opposite direction of where you're aiming when you shoot, so you can use it while already having upwards velocity from jumping, and you'll have a ton of velocity to get out. There's also a few other movement techs that make it a bit easier, such as slide jumping will give you a bit greater vertical velocity which will help a lot with jumping out. Again, that's the problem with not having a proper tutorial ('tis my first game jam, so I did not realize the importance of it, but I honestly really should have!), but you live and you learn. Thanks so much for playing, I really appreciate your feedback!

Absolutely agree on your points! Better hit feedback would have been huge for sure; and it is also unfortunately the case that the boss bugged out for this specific export, normally the boss would attack much much more, meaning you'd kill it way faster since it's own projectiles do a ton of damage to it too. Either way, thanks for playing, I appreciate your feedback!
