Waddle Knight 2 - Demo Final Boss: Shadow Kirby 

You know, this really helps one get an idea of just how terrifying having to face Kirby in combat actually would be! The sheer amount of abilities mixed with his creativity and raw power makes him a truly dangerous opponent!

his teleporting makes a lot more sense now haha

i had to use "easy" mode to beat the original's true final boss, this looks absolutely horrifying and im all for that

Shadow Kirby if he locked in during AM

Don't remember Shadow Kirby being this powerful but whatevs

This is insane!! Fantastic job!

...yep, I'm in trouble with this one.

If this is the demo’s final boss, I’m worried for the actual final boss lol

Great job!

This is actually incredible oh my god

How the Shadow Kirby fight should've gone in Kirby Fighters 2

I cant even beat nova what the hell is this

I will definitely be checking this out when it releases.

So this is the final boss of the demo, but it’s not the real final boss?

Well, I’m dead!

DAMN THIS IS INCREDIBLE

I recognize those sound effects!

oh man

Shadow Kirby >>>

So, when will we get more in depth trailer for the full version?

Where can I play this and the first version

Oh god

I've been eyeing this fangame for a while, and on paper, it should be something I like. A skill-based Kirby game filled with unique and interesting bosses? Sign me up! But the footage itself felt somewhat underwhelming, and I couldn't really put my finger on why until recently. I think it's mainly just the visuals themselves. Not the sprites themselves, they're fine (albeit the mirror attack looks rough, and some sprites animate choppily.) Rather, it's more so the backgrounds and particle effects. The background being one static piece merged with the stage makes the fight itself feel relatively static despite the amount of attacks going on. Ideally, the foreground arena, the background, and the meteors should be seperate layers. Additionally, movements lack any oomph due to the relative lack of particle effects. There are a slight amount, but basic ones like smoke clouds during fast animations (I know there's one during the running animation, but it's extremely, EXTREMELY subtle), or impact effects when the rocks hit the floor are missing. Or for a more specific example, the Spark attack doesn't generate any spark effects, which would help it look more dynamic. I can't really explain this well, due to having way less game dev experience, but I'd say look at other Kirby games or games with a similar direction to this one to see if that would help spark any ideas. Keep in mind, I'm saying this as someone who wants this fangame to be the best it can be. It already shows heavy promise as a fan game, the bosses pull off creative and interesting attacks, it's fast-paced and dynamic combat-wise... I'd wanna try and make something like this if I had the proper game dev skill! I really want this fan game to succeed, especially seeing as Kirby fan games are so few and far between. I just wanna make sure this feedback is as constructive as possible to try and get this fan game to flourish.
