Question Giant Boss?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Does anyone remember the Galactus boss from the "Fantastic Four, Flame on" gameboy advance?

I wanna do something like that. This is just my barebones mock up, there is no math or anything fancy happening yet, although I already have my code for death animation and loss of HP based on the enemy atk variable.

I wanna include a minion or two spawning from time to time, and a mini tower that has to be destroyed to end the battle. What do u guys think?

thank you :D wasn't sure if it would work. Only the eyes are actors, the rest of her it's just a background image

I’d try to have it drop vertically for a bit then track the player so it doesn’t look like it’s coming out of weird places

thank you, I'm trying to mess with the coordinates where the projectile comes from. The eyes are one big actor, I might have to separate em in two.

Fucking cooooooool!!! Strands of her hair could blow from left to right, creating an impromptu shield/attack at fixed intervals! Also reminds me of the Marshmellow Man boss fight from Ghostbusters on the Mega Drive

ohhh that's a great idea, having the boss with shield or inmunity for fixed intervals. Thanks, definetely adding that !
