Yeah. If you dont have scrolls the bosses will need a few hits. Only the talk about having to get red mushrooms with the shopkeep might tell you that something special is happening soon (might need a bit of paranoia too). Or the packing up dialogue for when the game is soon to end.Gotta say
I didn't expect that a sudden boss mushroom will appear out of nowhere
After beating oni in 2 hits I was like
Eh, who cares about shop items, ez game ez life. Maybe there'll be a scene if I'll save up enough gold
And oh BOI was I wrong
'cause then the Mushroom God Descended
Had only 1 potion and no fire scrolls, took me 7 attempts to cut down a god damn shroom.
The final boss took me 2 attempts and yet the mid-boss who doesn't even have arms rustled my jimmies on an unspeakable level
On a side note, animations are neat and the gameplay ain't hard if you get the hang of the bar rhythm/your reaction lag. I'm a slow-ass turtle so I had to attack when the bar was 1-2 slides behind the middle one in order to hit somewhere around the middle area with fast enemies.
