Boss damage?

[Umbaupause]

So, I've fought the level 5 boss with the spinning laser blade gun, and that one melted like ice on a griddle, but then I fought the three floating heads after picking up even more damage upgrades on the next floor... And they didn't take any damage at all. Am I doing something wrong here or is boss damage just kinda bugged sometimes?

I feel like damage in general can be super inconsistant. I've fought one of the later bosses four times now with (what felt like) crazy powerful runs, once they absolutely melted, twice were so-so but no too long and then another that took ages.

Much of the items were the same on each run so I'm wondering if guns have different damage caps or different ways of calculating damage.

Something is definitely up though as I picked up the "fire rate up for each pet you have" item and my fire rate went way DOWN immediately. And I had a couple of pets at that point already.

Same with the "getting keys increases weapon damage" item, I found the 99 keys item after and didn't get any noticable increase (your bullets generally seem to get bigger as damage goes up but they stayed the same before and after.)

I think too much damage/shoot speed/etc make the game glitch and the stats are all messed up

Thanks a ton! Hopefully that will be fixed soon, so unsatisfying to pick up an item and have it do the opposite of what it's supposed too.

(Also lol at the guy accusing hacks, as if OP runs/ combos don't exist in nearly every roguelike.)
