But neither will I just ignore how I’m stuck the first boss. I like the idea of this game. But I want to do the bosses in the order in which the bosses are listed. And the first dragon boss fight is preventing me from progressing and seeing if I like the game or the other bosses. I’ll show another review maybe in the future if I beat the dragon showing my actual thought on the game itself. But the first fight is a serious problem. ### 1/5 — No *2021-08-22* The game is too hard the dragon is almost impossible to beat that is not what a first level should be it might be easy for you but not for others please fix the game and make it more easier and not straight up hardcore mode ### 3/5 — Okay Seriously!?! *2021-07-30* Hi it’s me again the one who said simple not easy... After I beat the fish boss I got the witch which is easier than the dragon... then the vine which is easier than all the bosses! Literally No deaths and a boss KO! This game is clearly built in order of ideas Not order of difficulty(hero is a knight of course his first foe is a dragon not a giant vine) ... as for the final boss I didn’t beat it but I instantly recognized the concept... it’s an endurance boss as long as you focus on dodging you will win. (The monkey 🐒 or ape 🦍 maybe Kong...) the second in command the clown 🤡 is clearly more slow but very dangerous (much harder to dodge than the ape 🦍 although you have more routes to escape in the long run hm.... still those annoying bear traps.) This game has great ideas but they should be added as part of something bigger or perhaps get gold for killing or better yet harming boss (every 20% mark but less rewards for easier bosses like witch). You are confused by the vine remember the jack and the bean stock story? That’s more than enough of a reveal... either way this guy should get a buddy to help out! Clearly a solo build ... Great heart, Great design for bosses, Awesome Art, Poor order of game play which you would expect to find for solo builds. ### 1/5 — How is this ez *2021-07-21* How is it ez you 🤬 ### 1/5 — HARD *2021-01-05* SO HARD ### 1/5 — Difficulty curve... *2020-10-23* First boss is impossible ### 1/5 — It is hard *2020-05-09* I can’t get past the first boss please help me ## Frequently asked questions about Simple Boss ### How do you play Simple Boss?
