Every good level needs a good boss fight to cap it off.
And sometimes, a good boss fight needs a big armored dinosaur with a sword that's bigger than you are.
Yep, that looks like a pretty even matchup to me.
Next up
Chapter 4 (K) is DONE! And about time too - that's my longest level to date.
With that, Phase 3 (of 3) Milestone 2 (of 4) is now done! The end of this 7+ year project is finally nearing completion, and I can't wait to share it with you all.
Wait, there's MORE???
...
Oh yeah, there's more. Once you annoy Crimson enough, he starts busting out the specials. This one, Flechette Storm, is just one of those screen-engulfing special moves you'll have to contend with!
But even that isn't the end...
I updated the character select screen again!
I ditched the blurred overlay background for a stylish color-changing gradient, and added a spotlight to justify the players' shadows.
I also combined player & difficulty onto 1 screen for efficiency.
There's more!
Crimson doesn't know the meaning of overkill! Just how many attacks does he have at his disposal?
I'll give you a hint: More than this.
We haven't even seen his specials in play yet...
We’re teaming up with @NEOWIZ_QUEST 
to support developers with a narrative game jam! 🤯 The jam kicks off on October 31 in the Game Dev community, so start brainstorming and assemble your team.
I've been retouching several things in the game that could use a little more love before release.
Among these is the nanotech system! You now get a flashy popup (with confetti and everything) when you unlock one, and the icons are also resigned.
Some new background elements in Chapter 4 (N). The sky's a little less barren now that there are more floating rocks off in the background.
These also use 3D depth for accurate scaling, parallax scrolling, and distance fog.
@BeyondThePixels 
is a Jolter to Watch and a game developer re-inventing 90s retro cool for todays gaming community!
Check out their game Astro Burn: https://gamejolt.com/games/Astroburn/1023196
Follow them before the quest ends on October 21 and you'll get Coins!
HEEEEEE'S BAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For those who don't know him, this is Crimson. Nightmare's darker side. The most powerful being in the setting.
If you want to fight him, you're going to have a very, very bad time.
