it's mostly good, but the phase intros aren't skippable, the third phase has too much HP, there ought to be health bars in general (or at least some indication of how much progress you're making), and, most critically, why on god's green earth would you make the controls X and spacebar???

Ooo, I love me a good boss-fight, and this delivered a pretty cool one! Love all of the different phases, attack patterns, and sense of escalation, especially the fun middle part where you're falling down. The use of reflection as your only means of attack was pretty cool, too: always a classic since it forces you to put yourself in harms way. Overall this was a great short and sweet experience, all wrapped together nicely with some cool music, neat visuals and style!

The downside for me was that the game was in a rather rough state. Some of the roughness are just nitpicks, like how the text boxes aren't layered on top properly, meaning their text can be occluded by foreground elements like trees, or how the world is so flat and the character is just kind of on top of everything instead of being in front or back of elements. An explanation of the controls would've been nice too, but I figured it out without much issue. But there were some more annoying aspects like how you can get caught on the wall instead of naturally sliding across it, or how some hitboxes and transitions would just glitch up or work improperly. It wasn't enough to stop me from enjoying it, though!

Thanks for playing Future! Always nice to see you're still playing small games and making videos

wats the controls- beginning of the game

Kool! - end of tha gaem

Good job on making this little game!

I always thought I would be bad at bullet hell games. 109 minutes and 144 deaths proove that I am not just bad, but super-duber-uber-horrible. That, or sleep deprived. Yes, its the sleep. And the keyboard. I must always make absolutely certain to never forget to blame it on the equipment. And old. Hell, yes, I certainly am getting old.

I did not find any bugs or flaws, this is just perfect. If you ever find the time, make some more bosses, add a labyrinth and some story.

Super cool, wish it was longer, but it was super fun.
