Pearlus2 Boss breakdown. Siren's 4th Hscene sneak peek.

Heyo everyone! Here for the breakdown of the boss of Pearlus2. There is a lot of polish to be done here, but luckily it's mostly just tweaking variables to help with the pacing.

I just want to give a quick reminder to all those who are VIP ($10+). The poll for the next level is closing in a week, so be sure to get your votes off!

Now! Let's get into the boss. The boss won't have too many individual moves, but it will keep you on your toes.

To start, the main mechanic of this boss is a "Shuffle". The boss will shoot beams out of each active eye, but the location with shuffle around. You will need to move accordingly to avoid these.

To start off, only 2 sets will be active.

After defeating the first 2, it will spawn the remaining 3 sets.

Between all of this, the boss does have another attack that it can transition too. It will scuttle on the ground to spawn incoming bubbles. You will either need to avoid these, or destroy them.

Once all sets are destroyed you will have beat his first phase. The boss will retreat and spawn several columns.

(This will likely be much slower, and is an example of those "tweak variables". But the idea will be you can either weave around the stacks, or you can try and boost/brake between the bubble lines.)

Finally, the boss will return in full force.

All 5 eyes will have regenerated, and his center eye will be vulnerable. (oops.. looks like his center eye is slightly out of place...)

Destroying his center eye is all you will need to do to defeat this boss. You "can" destroy the arm's eyes if you wish, to cripple his attacks, but it is not mandatory.

I think I will be working on this boss a bit more. I feel the planning phase took longer than I was hoping, but I've found him to be fun so far, which is good ahaha.

I may add a bit more to his "Final phase" to spice things up a bit. There will also need to be some visual fixes, but overall it's turning out well.

That pretty much sums up where I am at with the boss. I'll see if I can finish him up this weekend. As for the upcoming week, I will be focusing on Siren's 4th Hscene.

Thanks again everyone! I'll catch you all next week for some motion!
