A submission for the DragonRuby Boss Battle Game Jam. Explore a small subsection of a subterranean factory... and encounter the oppressive mainframe controlling the facility! Fight for your life!!

For reference-
A and D to move left and right.
SPACE to jump, you cannot maneuver while in the air except through jumping again, or attacking. Hold A or D to angle your jump!
Hold down the right mouse button to aim your attack. Once you've steadied your aim, left-click to ninja-slash through the air to the mouse position- or through a long enough distance.

You can hold onto 3 mid-air jumps, and 3 mid-air attacks, where you must land before you can move again. If you're hit by an attack, or knock into a wall or ceiling while in the air, you'll be incapacitated until you come to a bouncing stop.

I don’t even know where to start. This is fun but it kicked my ass.

A really fun game, the mechanics are something I have never come across yet. I would want to see a more fleshed-out version of this game in the future. Definitely a really interesting idea worth continuing if you were to ask me. (It is also missing a reset button, unless I missed it then uh, please add it to the description)

A great game for people who like a challenge. It uses the mouse buttons to create a fantastic mid-air dash-strike that takes time to master. Fortunately, it gives you the space to practice your skills before you enter the bullet-heavy section of the game. The artwork is great and suits the feel of the game perfectly. (Confession: I still need to practice my dash-strike if I ever hope to beat that boss).

love the art work and the game design, the controls were little tuff to workout in the beginning but once i got them down it felt good. its satifying to swing across the level. Definitly want to see this game fleshed out. The boss itself is cool and has good personality as well.
