The boss was definitely disproportionately hard - round 6 probably took longer than the rest of the game. The main problem with the boss was that no matter what strategy was used, the first attack always boiled down to Clicking, flinching, and hoping. The major problem was the sense of helplessness - your orbiters, the Boss' slaves, their orbiters, and each character all move at about the same speed, so most of what happens feels out of your hands, and deaths feel like the game's fault. Also, if you're too far within the radius of the boss and retreating, he can chase you down and kill you, so basically every attack is a one-off shot in the dark. I finally beat him by just brute-forcing the chance - holding the left mouse button and charging, which was successful only a few tries in. As most other comments have mentioned, it definitely feels suited to multiplayer - whether a game in itself or a competitive mini-game in something larger, it's fast-paced and highly chaotic, a la bomberman or any good Mario Party minigame."},{"author_name":"DkCub23","author_uid":"23137","time":"May 7, 2013 @ 9:35pm","epoch":1367962200,"text":"I really like the concept, but it is kind of repetitive.
