It wasn't immediately clear to go through the things on the side instead of going straight in for the boss, but it was a neat game. Nothing like I was expecting from the intro, but neat anyways! It was rather difficult--I died a lot, but that's alright.

Pretty neat how you could actually fight the boss right away even if you weren't strong enough. Although super hard :)

I agree that it wasn't super clear that you should go find all your items in the random levels first but that can just be some UI stuff.

Good Job! Was fun!

I nearly stopped playing before I realised there was a whole level, thought it was just a really tough boss fight! It's good you can choose when to fight the boss though. I liked your main guy and his space camper van too

I liked the fact you had the freedom to fight the boss whenever you wanted!

This is a competent twin stick shooter. I've never been any good at them, but the idea of having the enemies shape shifting from the flora/fauna is very fun!

Very cool shape shifting animation of the boss.
