"Finish Your Game" Jam:

While I knew I wouldn't finish the game (heh, not even close),  my main goal during the jam was to create a boss battle. I also wanted to create more levels in general.

I'm curious to hear feedback about the boss battle. It didn't turn out as challenging as I was planning, but I think it works well as a "reward boss" that's satisfying to defeat.

I only added a few levels; not as many as I'd hoped. However, that's mainly because I got sidetracked making shaders, (something that's somewhat new to me) and implementing other small improvements. All in all, I feel it was time well spent.

I'll be playing other entries in the jam throughout the next few days.
