About the Game

What is Just the Boss Fights?

Just the Boss Fights is a classic 2D platformer RPG with a twist: the game skips all the story, dialogue, exploration, and grind, leaving only the bosses themselves! Unfortunately, our hero wasn't quite prepared for this shift into a boss rush, and finds himself confused at every turn.

Join the Hero as he pieces together what's happened to his world. Why are there gaps in his memory? How does everyone seem to know him? And, most importantly, who keeps changing his gear while he's not looking?

Features:

  • Experience 4 unique and engaging boss fights!

  • Adapt to an ever-changing moveset to overcome each battle!

  • Find clues to what happened in this world and what's causing the glitches!

  • After you win, up the difficulty with Challenge Mode!

  • Classic pixel art style!

  • Supports both Keyboard/Mouse and Controller!

Free to play with no in-game purchases, what's stopping you from taking on the challenge?
