Specter the Reaper

This is a fan-made boss encounter inspired by the style and gameplay of Cuphead.

We built this simply to have fun and learn the basics of game design and animation. It is a sample project created by two friends, not a full game. It consists of a single boss phase.

Treat this as a rough prototype. Since this was purely a learning exercise, it is not a polished product and you may encounter bugs or rough edges. We hope you enjoy seeing what we came up with!
