Very cool game. I had some doubts about making the player go through all levels each time they die, but in the end the mechanics and game play is so fun that I didn't really mind it, but rather enjoyed the experience of getting better fighting each boss.
Good job!
Good job!

Wow, this is very cool!

The art and the music were great! I really enjoyed playing this!

This was so cool! Completely fun to play and the graphics are really stellar! Super impressed that you got this all done in such a short period of time!

That's really cool. I love the art style and the gameplay is fun! The only thing is it took me a bit to figure out I could hit the first boss's necklace. Thats very minor though, and it might just be me.

This is a really good game, well done! Nice compo!

One of the most polished games I've seen yet in the compo. The bosses were really fun and I loved the music!

I can't believe this is made in 48h. I will try again later to beat the game.
Can I suggest a change to the control scheme ? Left Ctrl + Arrow key on mac changes the Desktop. The control are more frustrating than the boss =(
Nevertheless, good job. I will try again later.

This was awesome. Loved the boss designs and their movesets. All of their attacks were indicated very well and made use full use of your actions. It was not immediately apparent that I could deflect projectiles using my cane, though the fact that the pills of the second boss track you is definitely an indicator. I also felt that the timing for the second boss felt a little off, and that his syringe attack could have used more indication. Have no problems with the first and third boss though. Both had beautiful and large indicators for their attacks, all of which were fun to avoid. ( Although I did feel like the timing of the skulls of the third boss were a little unfair at times, though maybe that's just me ). The art and audio for every encounter was incredible. Great job on this game overall. Ending was nice lol.

Amazing art! Boss fight extravaganza! I think the fights were really well designed, great job!

The art is so good and the game is simple yet fully enjoyable.
Nick Saulnier5 Apr 2022, 15:20
Just awesome! Challenging, but not so much so that you lose enjoyment. Felt cool to discover the locket on the first boss, for example. Great work.
Max B5 Apr 2022, 15:42
Great game with nice visuals! abit annoying controll scheme using left ctrl as attack but overall really well made.

arqitech5 Apr 2022, 16:12
Tricky game with cool graphics! I think you should tweak the difficulty on level 2. :)

Fenderbate5 Apr 2022, 17:57
This game is awesome! Not much else I can say. 😀

Great entry and hommage to retro platformers boss fight. The boss design are inspired, each one telling the "story" subtly. This was great well done.
PotatoMika5 Apr 2022, 20:20
Aww man, this game totally rocks!! I immediately loved how you get to play as a grandpa and the way you incorporated the theme into this is GENIUS. I played this for a hot minute trying to see how far I can go. Music is great, art is amazing, and the gameplay is super smooth. Definitely coming back to this one to play again.
nick hayashi5 Apr 2022, 21:57
Literally amazing. It's insane what you were able to accomplish in the time given.

GeraldFIngBurke6 Apr 2022, 11:34
Really great interpretation of the them. Very well made for the 48 hour time window. Honestly it was really solid and polished in general. The art and sounds worked great together. The boss fights were really well designed as well. Number three beat the crap out of me more times than I would like to admit.

Roikku6 Apr 2022, 12:55
Lovely art and concept. Reminds me of my own mortality too much! Good job for Compo!

LDJam user 2765936 Apr 2022, 13:02
Controls are very tight, art and sound are both great.
Really love the theme as well, not enough games where the protagonist is an old man!
Bosh rush concept seems quite unique to LD, only one of these I've seen so far.
Unreal submission given you only had 48 hours.

INSANELY GOOD GAME 48h for music,sprites and cool bosses. :smile:

Battles were pretty simple but absolutely effective. I really enjoyed the visuals, the mood and the overall experience. One of the best projects I tried!!!

InitialPosition6 Apr 2022, 21:09
Had a blast playing this :D
The character design is fantastic, the music really gets the energy going and the gameplay is really hard, always fair, very rewarding, just almost perfect. If this was expanded into a real game, maybe with more story driven parts as well, I could really see this take off.

I feel like saying anything bad about this game is pure blasphemy. Like talking ill about pizza or cake. The sound is *chef's kiss. The art is to pay for. The design is marvelous, and the game flow is perfect. The controls tho... I couldn't play in browser because the chrome wanted to make bookmarks or delete the tab. I downloaded the game and tried my controller. It worked, but the character wouldn't stop jumping or walking. It's fine that it is not perfect. It is in every other regard. Thank you so much for this.

This game is awesome, and despite being short feals really complete. The artstyle is really nice, musicwise with the size of the ennemies it really gets you into an epic mood. Good job!

LDJam user 2621427 Apr 2022, 02:01
lovedddd this, this game is so tight and the music got me pumped up. the grim reaper got me though because i didn't realize he would suddenly become a pro golfer with his scythe :sob:

Awesome game; everything is good in this game, the pixelart, the music, the control....
Congrats!!!!

Wow!! very solid game, good work all round!
korfi8 Apr 2022, 13:49
This was very fun to play! I think that graphics and audio worked well together. Sometimes it felt like it was a bit hard knowing where the hitboxes would be on the hands but that might just be lack of game experience on my side! :)

Encore un super jeu mon cher ! Bien joué !

Stefan Laimer8 Apr 2022, 14:53
This is insanely good, especially for a compo game! It looks amazing, sounds amazing and plays amazing. Really well done!

Wakobu9 Apr 2022, 08:40
Excellent cru ! De beaux graphismes, un bon feedback sur les coups. Le jeu correspond bien au thème, félicitations !
LDJam user 25117015 Apr 2022, 10:02
Great submission!
The audio was engaging/intense which fit really well with the gameplay/graphics/mood. I loved the different boss art for each stage. The different segments were unique and it was fun to learn them as I went through them.
Ctrl + W is the "Open bookmark" shortcut on Microsoft Edge, which was a struggle LOL Perhaps something to keep in mind for future games when picking the controls :D

Really fun and well made, unbelieavable you could draw all of that, program it and make a catchy music on top! Only drawback is that the theme integration is weak, but no matter, great job!

ColeSlaughter21 Apr 2022, 03:34
Absolutely ridiculous how much content you're able to crank out in a weekend.
The art and music are absolutely on-point, and although the gameplay is a little generic, it is super polished and more than juicy enough to be engaging and fun. The backswing on that last boss really threw me for a loop the first time. :sweat_smile:
Nice job with this one!

Controls are honestly atrocious, but that is my only nitpick. Very polished and fun experience.

Very cool game.

I found some funny bugs, like double jumps, but everything is very solid, the
music and the art and the code.
