[@BRTLGames]

Heyy, thank you so much for playing my game! It made my day when I watched your video. I see that it was difficult to figure out how to defeat certain bosses. I'm working on a free content update at the moment that will hopefully fix some of those issues, as well as bring even more content to the game. Again, thank you for playing the game. I hope it was fun :)

yoooo, am the first to comment (probably deserve a free steam key of the game). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@BRTLGames]

@@soostroy Haha, no can do, sorry! But I am glad, and appreciate, that you're interested in playing the game. If you end up playing it in the future, be sure to let me know what you think about it :)

[@xmercyme3923]

To be fair DF is known for missing even the most blatant of mechanics! This game looks cool, though. Will definitely check it out, always good to see more indie devs making stuff. Keep up the good work! :)

[@Jordan_Giese]

Maybe an enemy index would help

[@TanyaSapienVintage]

I feel like if the dev for this game saw this video, they'd be in physical pain over DF not noticing the shimmering beam connecting the jellyfish to what was functionally a shield generator.

[@feha92]

Yeah, he saw the beam, but somehow didn't grasp it was a "invulnerability" style hint. Granted, it wasn't clear that's actually the case (might have been any number of other stuff, including healing or buffing), and they really should have used some kind of other universal hints in conjunction (ie. for shields, actually project a bubble shield. Or have damage feedback normally, that doesn't occur for it. Or just have a "plink" sound on hit)

[@valteine]

I actually couldn see the shimmer for quite some time almos til the end o the vid. The beam needs to be made more obvious.

i was about to say that lol.

Debatable. They did appear to stop frequently after the first row of explosions, and yet pass through others. It doesn't appear to work as intended.

[@aydensparks5586]

@@RamesGamesLCpretty debatable considering if you look closer at the beginning the shots never went that far before stopping and still penetrate after the explosion upgrade its just more obvious that they stop with it

I noticed that, and it's amazing this game actually keeps the penetration, makes me want to get the game now just because of that 😂

[@ninatiels]

Be glad you had piercing AND explosives. Every hit exploded and they still pierced through to blow up when they hit the range limit.

[@feha92]

Didn't look like they always did? Particularly at the start when he got explosions it seemed like each hit removed a bullet.

[@Vicerion17]

@@feha92 They still pierced, basically the bullets travelled a certain distance and exploded but if it hit an enemy before that it would cause an explosion as it pierced, killing everything around it. Meaning after the first explosion, there was rarely another enemy to pierce before the bullet reached it's max range and poofs into an explosion.

@@Vicerion17 No I know that. I am just saying that there were a couple times where it seemed to not be the case.

DF, most of the bosses in this game needs special requirements like the teeth boss thing can't die unless you kill it's weak spot which is a red ball on it.

[@anthonynorman7545]

Never saw the ball until you pointed it out. It blended in with the rest of the enemies. Maybe it should be a different color or glow to stand out more?

[@Just_a_random_person69420]

​@@anthonynorman7545I feel like they need to add some hints on these bosses, because if someone decides to go blind they most likely think they just need to shot it and not do anything else (And definitely be confused like DF).

[@luminariel3765]

The enemies need some other colors thrown in. It becomes such a wall of red that is hard to differentiate the boss weaknesses

[@funky555]

Heheh, you said pebetration.

[@theLeonizard]

i admit it make me laugh to see how much he didn't even wonder until the end about the jellyfish link. Seem the same thing with the thing on the wall after it bleed.

[@julesalbert4802]

The big jellyfish boss will die only if you destroy the things it is tethered to.

[@alien1162]

also the mouth had little nodes on it to hit. He got lucky and chained to them at the end.

[@bland6004]

He literally couldn't see the trail of sparkles between the Jellyfish and those things and it made me want to turn the video off

[@michaeltalpas]

So, observations: The circle thing bleeds when you hit it enough, and starts growing pustules. I assume this means the area is becoming weak, so maybe focus on one portion of the wall? The jellyfish thing has two lines coming out of it, going off into the distance. They're made of particles, so they're not easy to see, but maybe something 'over there' is controlling it?

[@michaeltalpas]

Ah, you did figure it out! I'm so glad, that would have bothered me forever.

[@michaeltalpas]

Looking again, maybe the pustules are just there? They could be weak points.

[@dragonflied3]

@@michaeltalpas Yep. Your supposed to hit the bubbles that the circle forms, and that damages it.

[@sleepyppl4286]

btw for that final boss theres little things on the sides of the walls that you needed to hit, you can watch the chain lightning automatically hit 2 or 3 of them

[@Jay-gr3by]

My soul is hurting watching him ignore the shield generators

[@heroastra8928]

jellyfish either has healing or a shield, notice the little sparkles between it and 3 points on the map? the wall-boss has a big ol tumor on it somewhere, that's the thing you shoot at to kill it. this also goes for the eye-boss.

[@marcusdaloia2974]

It seems like the less control that DF has the better his chances.

[@raffaellosimeoli5146]

The fact that DF never lost piercing but thinks so makes me

[@Misda-qak]

Is this guy just blitz but calmer

[@HUNTERxROY]

"and for our first upgrade, we take more bullets ! We fire 3 instead of 4! "

[@ieatsand6378]

So DF there is a little shimmer going to the jellyfish. Thats a shield. Track it back and you will find an enemy that you kill to remove the shield. Also for the big mouth look for a bump on the mouth. Thats the weak spot you want to hit.

the exploding projectiles don't get rid of pierce, you just killed everything so quickly initially pierce didnt matter. that is the most dangerouslyfunny thing ever.

The big boss at the end that traps you in its mouth is killed by hitting the red ball things on the walls, you only killed it Because you accidently hit them with chain lighting.

[@fjshdf]

Explosive bullets didn't actually remove penetration, but because they limited the bullets lifespan you penetrated less. Still would regularly get one or two pen. They even explode when they penetrate, in addition to the end of their life

[@princesspupcake1269]

Pretty sure the bullets still had piercing, the only downside was that the range was limited.

[@kayoh9364]

I'm not even going to blame DF for missing the mechanics here. How on earth are you supposed to figure out the weak points when your screen is full of boomerangs, enemies everywhere, and zero feedback on what you need to do?

[@TorinShipley-xc7ss]

Hey intern, there's weaknesses to the bosses. So I won the first boss. He starts forming bumps that are not eyes attack. Those, so you can damage him. The jellyfish thing you have to find these things that keep him alive. If you destroy all of them, then he will die and then well the final boss, the mouth saying, you gotta have difficult lumps on the sides, so you can defeat him.

It’s not that much of a surprise that the guy who plays bottom of the barrel mindless clicker games and somehow enjoys them isn’t the smartest when it comes to basic mechanics in a lot of games

[@macfire19]

Ok pretty sure the jellyfish thing is tethered to a couple other things which spawn in, and those prevent damage to the jellyfish until killed. Haven't played the game, but that seems to be what's happening (at first I assumed they would do something like speed it up or heal it, but nah definitely seems like invulnerability). *edit:* He noticed toward the end.

[@Eddygeek18]

The tooth wall has little things sticking to it you have to destroy, (I assume)
