Boss HP Bars

[Okami Amaterasu]

An option for HP bars for bosses would be neat. Sometimes it's hard to tell how much I'm actually doing to them aside from some of them starting to glow.

There are a lot of better ways to make a game hard than just withholding basic information. Hell, they could actually get away with stricter challenges if certain enemies did have health bars because you can reasonably expect more from a player who has all the information.

For example, some of the parts involving crowds of giant bombs kinda seem like they were made overly lenient specifically to make up for the fact that the player has no way to know when the bombs will die, when they'll explode, or how much damage the explosions will do. I usually just run through the outer wall of enemies & take a hit since for all I know, the bombs could have more health than the RNG even provided me a way to deal with.

Alternatively, they could have barely any health but I have no reason to risk it when I have no way of knowing when they'll explode & it could be an automatic 1-hit kill for all I know. At least when I'm playing a level for the first time anyway.

There's actually an inner circle that slowly expands and then causes the explosion when it hits the outer circle. Easy to miss if you're prone to panic.

Is it a red circle in another red circle? If so, I probably just can't see it. I have some unpredictable colorblindness problems specifically related to the color red. I don't know what it is exactly.

I see most shades of red in most situations fine but now & then, I find something that trips me up. Like there've been a few game/cartoon characters who it took me months or years to realize they had red hair because I just thought it was brown.

I had a shirt for years that I liked wearing but I never figured out whether it was brown or purple. Yet in most cases, I can see shades of red inside other slightly different shades of red & immediately see the difference.
