Yeah, good point. Still, would be nice to get a bit of info from the enemies' point of view.
And may I just say, this project is really cool, and I'm sure it will turn out to be really fun to play! Where did you get the ideas / inspiration from?

I'm not really interested in creating an extended story throughout which is why I'm not too interested in any "here's all these POVs" besides a few cutscenes for pregame and postgame. The inspiration: There's just so many poor-quality boss rushes that make use of solely reskins of vanilla bosses with basically no creativity and just repetitive AI. My goal was to take a single boss NPCs and make a series of boss fights that are each creative, unique, gimmicky, and fun to play with only Boom Boom

By the way, has progress been made recently? Will we see the full release in a matter of a few weeks, or is this still a long way off?

The next demo is just around the corner!

I've been working on significantly remastering a lot of the battles to make them a lot better in terms of gameplay and design in general. Also working on a few more which will be included in the next demo.

Here's some .gifs of the remastering atm which I've also shared on Discord:

Spoiler: show

Also I've noticed that the images in the OP have expired? Will fix them ASAP.

Now that my exams are done I can make a lot more progress on this and will hopefully have some more screenshots of new battles in a few days and then hopefully the next demo in a week, or two at most

These look really promising! I have played the first demo and it was quite fun, if a little hard. I look forward to seeing more, and will definitely give the next demo a go!

Yay, Boom-Boom finally gets the attention he deserves! I've always had quite a few questions about him, like what species Boom-Boom is (Obviously a koopa, but I meant the types of koopas like the paratroopa and dragon koopas.) and where he's from.

I'm pretty sure Boom Boom is a Goomba who Bowser upgraded..
