There is a hidden wall to the right of the 2nd statue. When the statue is interacted with, it shows that it is a boar statuewhich explains the puzzle

I simply cannot force myself to try this anymore. This is a neat concept, but the implementation is infuriating...

I figured out the whole puzzle I am fairly sure. I know how to kill the boss, I get multiple hits in every attempt before the power goes out again, but nothing I do seems to get me there fast enough to kill him in time. I don't know exactly how many times I have attempted this now, but when I started to get angry I counted 10 before I gave up, because I hate leaving things unfinished and I am at the boss...

I don't know if the timer is a set number, a changing number based on how far you get, or if it's a random variable and I am just getting extremely unlucky, but this is much more stress than it's worth. If I am missing something, please tell me, but this was not at all enjoyable.

Great in every other way though.

Edit: After a friendly spoiler I was able to get it beaten. Still kind of stressful, but it turns out it was kind of my fault xD Slight spoiler

Mild spoiler
Slightly more explicit spoiler

(Sorry for the unusual formatting using hyperlinks. I still haven't found out how to use actual spoiler tags here on itch  😅)

That is okay, and no I am not sure... I will have to give it another try and see if I can finish it without the second spoiler :P

Best of luck ^^

bro that spoilersystem is wonderful!

I'm glad you came back around, the last bit is certainly tricky! Thanks for the play, DeepFriedOreo! (and sorry about any stress induced...)

This game has one of my favourite aesthetics from MiniJam 73, sets a great tone while playing. I really enjoyed it!

I'm glad you liked it! I spent much more time than I should have fine tuning the audio and room setup... Thanks so much for playing!
