I always thought boss fights were always the best part of games, so why not make one with only boss fights?

I really like you're game! (And super surprised you used unreal for it!) music was boppin, and the combat was fun. i guess the only thing i would change is the difficulty for the first boss, maybe make him a tad bit easier, but overall, i like it! :D
Thanks for playing! The game can be unforgiving, so I'll likely tweak the difficulty for updates. :)
This game is fun! It definitely gives me Undertale vibes and I appreciate that. I got the second boss really low on health once but I haven't been able to beat it yet.
Not having a checkpoint system is really brutal, because I have to play the first level over and over, which is a little frustrating.
Also, I think having to click while on the attack squares doesn't serve much purpose. Why not deal damage simply by moving over it?
Update: I beat level 2 and got 3/4 through level 3 :)
Update 2: Did you actually submit this game for LOWREZ2020? I'm not able to rate this for the jam. Don't forget to enter it!
Thanks for playing!
Unfortunately I finished late so it’s up to the organizers to let it be submitted late. If it is, it should be up there very soon!EDIT: It's now a submission to LOWREZ2020!There’s a lot I didn’t manage to get done within the time restraint, but no checkpoints is purely intentional and supposed to give a Dark Souls kinda feel. I’ll consider your suggestions in some updates!
