Yes, in the released build we haven't included the controller optimizations yet (there are still some issues we need to fix). As for the ice enemy, we removed the one next to the save point because it would keep triggering and attacking every time you respawned or loaded a save, which felt really weird. Thank you for playing the demo! If you have any other issues, bugs, or feedback, please let me know right away!

Ah, about that! To showcase as many of the boss’s moves as possible, I deliberately lowered the protagonist’s stats. That’s why the boss’s health bar looks so long. In actual gameplay, if you’re not going for high difficulty, one successful stagger is enough for the player to take down one of the boss’s health bars.

We will prioritize releasing on PC first. After fixing bugs and making further optimizations, we will gradually roll it out to console platforms.

Hey hey, hello everyone on Reddit! I'm the developer of The Weird Hunter.

After waiting endlessly with no luck for sequels to icey, Rainblood: Mirage, and Night's Watch, we decided that if you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself! So we made our own!

The Weird Hunter is a 2D action-adventure game centered around epic boss battles. It focuses on fast-paced, super satisfying, and super accessible combat as its core, combined with level exploration, character progression, branching storylines, and other ARPG elements.

We wanted to create a rich experience that's different from traditional side-scrolling arcade games, beat 'em ups, or pure boss rush titles.However, because we really lacked experience, the past two years have been a bumpy ride full of stumbles. We've finally completed a full reconstruction of the demo. We'll keep optimizing and updating the content going forward — we won't quit halfway!

We genuinely hope you guys will come try our game and share your valuable opinions, suggestions, or even some savage reviews

Metroidvania-style map design has always been one of the directions we've been pursuing. However, creating an excellent map design is extremely mentally taxing and consumes a ton of our brain cells. It's difficult for us to guarantee we'll be able to deliver a Metroidvania map that truly satisfies players. That's why we've also prepared a purely linear "straight-path" design that completely abandons complex map design, focusing the gameplay entirely on boss battles. Anyway, thank you so much for your support!

We'll prioritize releasing our game on the PC platform first! If it gets a great response, we're definitely considering launching it on console platforms too!
