I restarted the game 6 times to beat that boss on my first attempt. you can't.

that's pretty messed up. You stacked it so his attacks wipe you out in two hits, and the voirtex attack sucks you in too fast. But I found a way to stay safe and whack him during the vortex.
And then he didn't die.

Hey TemmieNeko,


It's not supposed to be possible to beat the boss at this stage (well done getting him down to zero). We are discussing if there's a better way to handle this that feels more 'fair'.
Thanks for the feedback and sorry for any disappointment.

Cheers!

I just am used to games ( usually rpgs ) setting you up for a fail, and I like to try and make that fail not happen lol.
The average person will not notice this, haha. So I think it's handled fine.
Or you could make that boss encounter a cutscene, instead of somehting you can fake play ( i say fake, since you can't win )

That's all fair TemmieNeko,

We've played with some classic ideas that might work here.
Hopefully we'll get something suitable in soon ;)

Thanks.

I also made the attempt but after I figured out that the suction was moving faster than normal, I just stood in the boss's hitbox.

I also tried to beat the boss and realized he couldn't be beaten.

Several roguelikes let you beat the boss in the beginning, if you're good or clever enough--usually meaning you've been playing awhile on another file.

Playing the game on Casual Difficulty, in hopes to play with my friend. Not been able to beat him in six or eight tries. Is there supposed to be something that I do first, or is this game going to be too difficult for us? My friend is not much of a gamer, and I was hoping this would be a relaxing entertainment.

(Update: nevermind, I was on the first boss... It was more difficult that I expected, but I finally defeated it after using a attack-power upgrade. Lot of confusing things in this game, that could use a better explanation. And, the co-op is entirely unimpressive.)

Then you should make dying to this boss a scripted event. Not making this a boss fight. I completely dropped this game because of this boss and will not be touching it or any other games your company develops ever again.

u mad lol

I'm in with the folks, that say, this is annoying. The boss would be beatable, but not easy beatable on "lvl 1" and this also discourages me to play on.
