BOSS FORGE

Make any boss, then fight it. Describe one in plain English and hit Generate, or set every dial by hand: shape, size, health, aggression, weapons, attacks, phases, arena. Then see if you can beat what you built.

A fight in BOSS FORGE: a magenta star boss fires a curved line of yellow bullets at a small blue hero
The loop

Forge, fight, tweak, repeat.

Every boss is a recipe: a body shape (orb, crystal, cube, star, blob, or a custom shape you sculpt by dragging dots), a colour, a size, a health pool, an aggression level, a movement style, and a pool of attacks. Pick more attacks and it gets harder. Add phases and the boss escalates as its health drops, at the thresholds you choose.

Give it a melee weapon and it gets a signature special to match: a sword grants Blade Rush, an axe grants Axe Quake, a ball and chain grants Flail Sweep. Dual wield for two.

Battle rules are yours too. Turn on instant death if you touch the boss, or put a timer on the fight and see if you can bring it down before the clock runs out.

Fighting it

Your hero auto-fires at the boss. Your job is to survive: move, watch the red telegraph lines for lasers and charges, and dash through bullets at the right moment for a brief window of invincibility. On touch screens, drag on the left to move and tap DASH to dodge.

Sharing bosses

Bosses save in your browser. Export one as a file to back it up or hand it to a friend; import theirs and find out what they think is fair.
