Lavender is trapped in a multiversal time loop! She only has 10 seconds to defeat each boss...and they recover each time they reappear? Is this even possible?

@woahitsjeff ah yeah sorry we're still working on it. I guess I shouldn't have published the page yet!

The game was really cute, I liked a lot the work of the artists for this game, but there is a moment where you start to feel dizzy because of the background with so many details.

While the concept is really cool, I just couldn't figure out how the bosses work.

This rules! I love love the idea of 10 seconds bosses. The content is of course limited being a jam game but this is a concept that would be great to see extended to a bigger release (even though i could absolutely not figure out how to beat the ghost one :sweat_smile:

The art is great. I could not figure out how to beat the ghost boss.

This game looks and feels great, the transition effect between bosses is really cool!

I had the ghost and the witch bosses figured out, but after hitting them maybe five times each I wasn't sure if it was possible to beat them or if the game keeps going?
For the crab, I thought maybe you're meant to keep hitting the claws until they loop around and hit him? Since they seem to curve back towards him if you keep hitting them? I couldn't get it to work but am I on the right track?

Overall, I really liked this one. Love the graphics, and the player character is so cute. Great work guys!

I had no idea how to finish the game. played for 15 minutes but just felt stuck. The general art and concept was very well done.
Good work

A nice job! The only thing missing is some feedback on player HP and bosses. The idea of fighting in parallel with several bosses with different mechanics for each one is very interesting, maybe in some cases you have to defeat a specific boss to get something necessary to defeat another one.
The initial idea is great, I would like to see the future of the project!

Nice game, sadly I wasn't able to beat it, I managed to damage all bosses though! I like the idea of puzzle bosses and these flowed super well together. Art is excellent and music is great as well!

So I played it thorugh and got a 3:08 and thought I could easily beat it and went for a quicker time but I think I found a bug. I had the eyeball in my hand as the timer went off and I ended up having the eyeball on the 2nd game so the only way id be able to beat the game would be to drag it through the next 2 games back to the crab again. Just something I thought I should mention. Great game though fantasically well done. I think the ghost was the only one I just kept trying to make it work and hoped I was lucky as I switched screens basically. Lovely graphics and sound design though.
