I made a new boss that guards an essential power-up! He's armored, so you'll have to hit him in the face until he gets angry enough to charge you, revealing a weak point (you won't be relying on RNG).
Level Design Update 2
After finishing the boss, I started working on the village and the top left half of Shadow Caverns. The demo will likely end once you get to the village so I'm almost there!
Other
The original version of Blooming Darkness actually had 3 bosses programmed that were present in test builds. One was the light warrior and another was the armored beetle.
One more to remake!
1Hey everyone, it's been a while! Read the Article for an actual update.
I added a shield throw ability to the game. No indication yet, but it does more damage the more it bounces. I hope your trick shots are on point!
The Blooming Darkness demo has just released! There's quite a bit of content and it's free! So, grab your keyboard or controller and try it!
Have fun and please give me honest feedback

This ability won't be in the demo, but I wanted to show it off anyway. Also, this was totally done first try and was definitely not spliced!

I updated the banner for my game! It's based off one of the first original pixel art pieces I ever drew (2nd picture).
Art isn't an area I'm strong in, so I'm pretty happy with this! Well, for now at least.
A patched #Demo of #BloomingDarkness has been released! This should hopefully make the controls less awkward and decrease the difficulty a bit. https://gamejolt.com/games/blooming_darkness/398415

I updated some old art of mine to fit my game's newer style! What do you think? Also, thank you guys for your patience and support!
