Kuri

Delve into this... dungeon or something I guess... and fight the guards to earn the chance slay the super cool dark mage of legend, Kuri!

Fight three distinct bosses that each have their own unique attack patterns:

The turret - He's a cute little turret fella who pops out of the ground! He's a fan of shields, lasers, and the song that plays while you fight him.

The showman - This man wants to put on a show, and by that I mean he wants to shoot you and smack you with painful things. Your new ability comes in very handy!

Kuri - The namesake of the game, a spooky dark figure in a stylish purple cloak. When they get angry, you really see them from a different perspective.

Use all your cool hip abilities, like:

Primary fire - Shoot a rapid-fire short-range magic projectile! Whoa!

Dash - instantly teleport a short distance away! Wow!

Two Secret Abilities - Unlock them by defeating the first two bosses! Holy cow!

- BACKSTORY -

- (not like lore, just about the dev process) -

I made this in a game development class in high school. I tried to be pretty ambitious  with our ~6 month development period. Up to this point I'd always had an issue with motivating myself to get a project done, so the added structure and deadlines from the class are the reason this project was really able to exist. This project really helped me learn the skills of developing under a schedule. In fact, as of writing this, I'm currently working on a similar boss-rush of slightly larger scope, this time with about 3.5 months of development time. (EDIT: That game is out! Go to https://illdie.itch.io/space-bubby to play!)

The title "Kuri" is taken from two other places. The main inspiration for this game was the game Furi, which is also a boss rush. Early in development, I also watched the show Fooly Cooly, or, as it's written in romaji, Furi Kuri. I figured that, since Furi already existed as a boss rush, it was up to me to finish off the anime reference by naming my game Kuri.
