THE IMPOSSIBLE BOSS
A downloadable game for Windows
The Impossible Boss: Made for the Zeno Game Jam.
I didn't add music, because I suck at that.
Also, if the game seems boring at first, just keep going. It gets more exciting.
The game doesn't have a story, so here it is. You play as a machine who needs to stop an evil furnace from taking over the world and turning the planet into a fireball. Yes, people can have great goals. Goals that make total sense. What are the names? I suck at names too so you play as Dave and the boss is Rob.
Also, crashes are intentional.
I just wanna say one thing. Good luck. :)
(Is that how you do it? Do you also add the period when you have a smiley face? or do you have the smiley face before the period. Or maybe the smiley face IS the period?!)

Phew, that was a hard one, good thing I have all that Touhou experience from my weeb days :D
I really think you got the difficulty progression down! It took me a few tries, but the progression from "Ha, more like the possible boss, am I right?" to "oh shit, oh shit, oh shit" was very nice. I especially liked the flipped controls one, caught me off-guard.
You mentioned not adding music because you suck at it - which is fine, and I can respect it a lot to choose just to use what you yourself can do, but I can't help but imagine how much some escalating, frantic music might add to the feel of the game. It's fun without it, too, though.
Same goes for sound effects - although I can't be sure if there being none might have to do with me running it in wine on Linux.
Which, btw, worked flawlessly, I guess that is standard for Unity games, but you could advertise it as working on Linux with wine too, if you wanted.
Overall, I enjoyed it! I think you really got some talent there for escalating encounter design you can build on for future projects.
I added screen shots! Are ya happy now?
