Dragonslayer's Tale
Dragonslayer’s tale is a 2d vertically scrolling shooting game, where you progress through multiple stages of enemies shooting “bullets” at you that fill the screen, and you have to survive and dodge everything that is thrown at you. In a medieval fantasy setting with inspirations from middle eastern culture.
So far only 3 levels are finished, and there are atleast 4 levels in total planned for the game.
If you encounter a problem with the UI in the web version make sure to change the resolution to 1600 or higher from the settings menu.

good game, nice improvements, I love the focus ability to slow down and condense shots
the ability to continue but at the cost of reseting the score is great especially since the game is hard
the background and the projectiles make it hard to focus on the boss and more on dodging
and there is a bug at stage 3 when you die you can't move anymore
overall good game 👍
by dying, do you mean getting hit or continuing after losing all your lives? And were you doing something in specific when you died? The player seems to move fine after either scenario in stage 3 on my end.
I think just getting hit even if you have more lives . And I remember I was on the left side of the screen moving with the edge if it matters
