That was fun, got a perfect score. I'm going through some of the BOSS RUSH JAM 2024 entries and I can appreciate that your game isn't too much on the difficult side. It's more fun to figure out how to use unique mechanics and moves than to bash your head on extremely tight attack windows and then having to retry every boss 5 times. Playing with the 3-attack exchange was really enjoyable.
Also the dialogue was just endearing. Having the bosses be tutors/examinators that are cheering you on is refreshing.
Glad you liked it! I was afraid it came out a bit too easy, but I think the boss attack patterns were interesting enough for it to still be fun. Glad you liked the attack-swapping too, that was a controversial mechanic. Thanks for playing and for the comment.
MANNN!! I love your games and you keep bringing me back to your content because its THAT GOOD! All your game's soundtracks just hit me right to my core, the gameplay for them is all fairly simple, and I even like to make references to multiple games you've made! You quite literally sparked my love and joy for game development and I want you to take that into mind! I also like the fact in your games, You never die. Instead you get knocked down but always get picked back up! 10/10 Games, 10/10 music, and the simple art really gets to me! Spectral Slash and Downwell really influenced my art to be Black, white, and red. Normally I wouldn't even bother doing so... Enough yapping, I just really love your games and you're my entire reason I publish games now and try so hard to get your charm, I just cant! ^v^
Hey! Great to hear from you again, really glad you enjoyed the game. I’m really happy that some of my work has given you inspiration, it means a lot to hear that.
This comment made my day! Thanks for playing and for stopping by.
Interesting, the third boss is definitely more of a ‘classic dark souls’ fight, whereas the 2nd boss is a bit more chaotic. If you’ve got lots of soulslike experience, that might explain it.
thanks a ton, I spent a long time on the soundtrack for this game. It went through a few different iterations but I’m happy with how it came out, glad you liked it!
Despite I don't like the game itself that much, it is well coded I believe, fast paced, with good music, controls are easy and perfect, but it looks on my windows system that dodge took a bit too long unless it is my brain which was a bit too slow :).
A crazy game like Putrid Shot Ultra for people who are more focused on game play and challenge than on the look only (as many modern and expensive game are more all-in for how they look with very very poor gameplay, replay-ability and fun).
Thanks for giving the game a try. The dodge is a little long. Looking at games like Death’s Door, I think it probably should be quicker. Thanks for the feedback!
"An error occurred before the game window could be initialised. Please check the console!", looks like sadly this game might not be one I will get to play
UPDATE: I think I fixed it. I realized there was an issue in non-chrome browsers. I uploaded a new web version and it works in firefox/safari/chrome on my end in mac/windows. Can you try it again whenever you get a chance?
also: what browser and operating system are you using?

i'd say giving magic a drawback would be a good idea, because i find myself often spamming melee to keep using magic.
Based game
On my first run, i took 2 hits total and my keyboard died on the final boss
I love abhi’s mentally destroying games
THis is a realy awsome game

For sure bro!!!
Enjoyed experience, thank you. Altho I think second boss is the hardest, I lost only to first phase of 3rd boss once.

Hahah, Dark souls 1 is my favourite game of all time, you got it
a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Bravo.
Thank you!
omg fantastic game i love the music you make for your games!
thanks a ton, I spent a long time on the soundtrack for this game. It went through a few different iterations but I’m happy with how it came out, glad you liked it!
first try (despite not knowing the hint for the 2nd boss)
Nice job! Thanks for playing!
We gonna get a higher difficulty for this one in the future, similar to TRYH4RD?
Thanks for playing! I’d like to do a hard mode if I get time! I might lose interest and move onto something else though after the jam.

First time perfect score !
The game controls are perfect, and you put the right amount of efforts in art (the music is so cool !). Well done, I had a lot of fun !
Thanks for playing and for the kind words! Nice job with a perfect on your first try.
GREAT, The mood, ambiance, art,music and battles... really awesome. A easy, normal and hard mode could be a good deal
Thank you! I’m considering adding a hard mode later on, but we’ll see.

Yaaaaaaaaaay, it works
Fanastic game, looking forward to coming back and doing a perfect run, even though our mistakes were the friends we made along the way!
Thanks for playing! You’ve got this.
I'm gonna make a video on this, love your games
Ooh nice, looking forward to it (no pressure though)
of course!
This is awesome, so excited to see your work in 3D. Love the low poly look, and the action is super responsive. Killing it as always!
Thank you!!
