Bullet-Hell games have never really been about "fair". You get a tiny ship, armed with a virtual pea-shooter. Then you meet a boss, who is much bigger than you, soaks up thousands of your shots, and covers the screen in bewildering swarms of bullets, any one of which is capable of ending your life. It has never even pretended to be fair, really. The boss seems to have a much more enjoyable (not to mention SAFE) job than you do. If only life wasn't so unfair. If only you could have HIS job somehow....

Whelp, it's out. I've made a page for the game at www.bossrushgame.com,, for public perusal and enjoyment.

Normally I would consider it "done" at this point. I've accomplished everything I planned on with the game. (And then some! The original game as conceived had maybe 2-3 bosses, with like 5 levels each. Instead of the 6.5 bosses, with 10 or so levels each that the game ended up at. Sometimes it is hard to stop!)

Anyway, done with it for now, but may end up issuing an update, since a lot of people are having trouble with the infamous "squish the ship" level. While I like the level, I may move it to later in the level progression, so that people don't feel quite so stuck so early.
