BOSS RUN

No dungeons, no minions, just bosses. You're a tiny wizard living in a cozy little house, and every time you walk out the door it's straight into an arena, one boss after another, until you win or drop. The idea - Only boss fights. Ten bosses so far, split into two cycles. Each cycle ends with a superboss that remixes the attacks of the ones before it (and fakes its own death, because of course it does). - Every boss is a different puzzle: a gravity ring that drags you into its bullets, a mirror that replays your own movement against you, an owl that turns off the lights, a throne that eats the floor under your feet... - Between fights you go home. Your cat Cookie talks (nobody would believe you), the bookshelf holds a permanent skill tree, and an old-school PC has daily missions, a shop, a boss wiki and a slightly irresponsible casino. - Inside a run you level up and pick skills, open chests, swap weapons and spend coins at a merchant between arenas. - Local co-op for up to 4 players, an Easy Mode, and English/Portuguese. Made solo in GameMaker: code, art, animation and design. It's still in development and I'd love feedback, especially on how the fights feel and how readable the attacks are!
