Hi, all! I’m working on an new article around creating Boss Battles in your games and I’d love a few amazing options to point at inside. Here are the headers for the areas I’m highlighting: Epic Visuals and Sound Effects Intuitive Signaling Emotional Impact Unique Attack Patterns Progressive Difficulty Identifying Weaknesses Multiple Phases Strategic Decision-Making Show me what you’ve got! And let me know if you think your game highlights any of these individual topics particularly well 🙂 ---

Here it is! My Boss Battle, in Dark vs. Light 7, and the hardest boss I’ve ever made! > **[Dark vs. Light 7](https://arcade.makecode.com/00202-68543-96294-53602)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. This thing has (in my opinion): \*Visuals: 4/10 - nope, not much on visuals. \*Sound Effects: 0/10 - no sound effects, sorry! \*Intuitive Signaling: 5/10 - there is some story before each phase, so I guess that’s something. \*Emotional Impact: 8/10 - ok, there is A LOT of lore behind this boss fight, so if you play the previous games you’ll feel the impact, hopefully… \*Unique Attack Patterns: 10/10 - yep! This thing literally throws robots at you, teleports, and shoots depending on the phase! \*Progressive Difficulty: 9/10 - this is really, REALLY tough. It slowly gets harder, and harder, and harder as the fight continues. \*Indentifying Weaknesses: 7/10 - this works, because the robots (aka Ulators if you know the story) defend Appius (the boss’ name) during the fight and you must shoot between them. \*Multiple Phases: 10/10 - this fight has 4 phases; updated forms of @henrym’s Blocky Boss Battle. This fight takes like 15 minutes. \*Strategic Decision Making: 10/10 - this is definitely a thing. In the last two phases, you’ll need to use your MP more wisely. So that’s it!

Blocky boss battle is a classic example! > [@Blocky Boss Battle](https://forum.makecode.com/t/blocky-boss-battle/421): > > Here is my attempt to create a bullet-hell-style shooter game: (old version: \_5qfcJU65egL6) This simple bullet hell shooter is made purely with blocks (image is for old version): It features: Enemy Life Bar 4 phases of basic bullet pattern motifs like aiming at player, multidirectional shots Slow movement mode for precise dodging Introductions: Press arrow keys to move your player Press A to shoot Hold B to stay in slow movement mode It takes 12 hi… ---

Btw, not my project, I just realized the question is “have _you_ coded a boss battle” 😅
