look more complicated than i thought…
Greeting, guys. I’m back with a brand new boss idea. Here’s the design:
This one looks like a mechanic, behind its back is a pair of steel wings attached with welding barrels. They brings the shape of a circle quadrant (1/4 of a circle).
At the 100% difficulty, its health is 250,000 like most bosses in the game. Here’s its attacks.
1) Targeting Fire Gears Throwing
The boss will stay in a half of the screen, then throw four gears spouting out four yellow fire around each, which increases the hitboxes of the gears. They’ll travel directly to player’s position.
2) Scramble Gears
Four heavier gears which spout out blue flame will be thrown at four edges of the screen, then they’ll travel either counterclockwise or clockwise. This type of gear is moderately bigger than the one in attack 1.
The gears scrambling on the edge of the screen will travel one full round from its starter point (where it’s thrown by the boss). While this happens, the boss will fly around and use one gear from the attack 1 to throw at the player, but the speed is a bit slower.
3) Wrench Throwing
The boss will stay at either left or right top corner, then travel to the other side while dropping five wrenchs.
4) Welding Lasers
In attack 4.1 the position the boss stays is nearly the same in the attack 3; while it’ll always stay at the top middle in attack 4.2. The welding lasers wings behind it is now taking action.
4.1) Side Welding Lasers Swiping
4.2) Middle Welding Lasers Swiping
All attacks of the boss will be randomized, but they must be ensured that each attack can only be executed just after two unique / different attacks; but the attack 1 will always be the opening attack. For example: 1 → 3 (right → left) → 2 → 1 → 4.2 → 4.1 (left) → 3 (left → right) → 2 → 4.1 (right)…; there will be no 1 → 2 → 1; 4.1 → 3 → 4.1;…
Here’s the link for people having hard time with the gifs:
So I’ll end my idea here. What do you think about this?
- Neutral.
- Too fast attacks.
- Attack can’t be predictable.
- Narrow place to dodge.
- Boss’s too underpowered.
