Everyone does it from time to time. It's just to easy to get carried away. Mine is stacking stupidly powerful weapons, or putting them on top of something that spins. I don't know why.

A rediculous amount of stacked homing lasers set to all fire at once, followed by a player aiming large laser. the boss also flew up and sworded you to death.

Sucks how I lost the .fed

I like incoming boss after boss, with low durabiltiy, for fast destruction to get a smile about the bullet mass explosions on higher ranks. -(~_~)- -()-

I like OH MY GOD cannons that open and close. Like put a GAZILLION slow rays lined up facing the same way, so it makes a relatively wide gun. Change the parameters to make it fire really fast, and make it invulnerable except when it's firing at you.

Oh. almost forgot. Put the whole thing on a panel aim player with the highest move speed.

My second boss, Hellspawn 1.0 was just a homing laser and laser L spambox. It taught me some valuable laser knowledge and homing laser understanding.

I've also made a phallic Fraxy boss that constantly urinates bullets at you. You had to blow off its testicle-like explosion tanks to kill it. I deleted it accidentally and never got the chance to remake it because of the rise of events coding.

Ahh. I believe Dudeman from Stickpageportal made on exactly like this. If anybody wants it, PM me, and I'll send you the Phallic Avenger.

My personal and common failings with Fraxy creations:

- Initially too big (But I catch that quickly)
- Poor parts tree and bad durability amounts that makes large parts of the boss desctructible too quickly because of chaining damage or makes the darned thing boring to fight (Aggravating! Total rebuild as often as not. )
- Poorly scored parts (Testing, testing, testing! As I try to pin drones/gunships down to 10000 points or less and bosses down to 100k points or less, '80s style.)
- Too fast / evasive (by the time I fix my other three goof-ups, I usually say "To Heck With It")

I usually like to mount engines in weird places and chain them to create a unique boss' movement pattern. Of course, that makes my enemies "dance"... but really, they're just sweeping in large arcs and spamming shots as they pass by, ruining bullet patterns. And it also makes them stay offscreen way too often.

I guess I'm just plain better at making drones than bosses.

-Making very small and insanely overpowered bosses.
-setting all weapons to "hide"
-making insane amounts of tractor beams pulling the player o an inevitable fate

Thats all I can think of right now

Oh, I almost forgot. Set all the parts to "hide" and then "If distance -> Player is < 10, then set draw status to show." Also have it in reverse, so you can't see where death is, but once you find it, you're dead.

My bosses/drones always suck with damage-chain and functionability after certain parts destroyed and I'm starting to use invencibility in almost all parts now. I actually need to work on it.

Making the last form of a boss imitate a well known bullet hell boss.

-Scenario-
Player bashes boss to pieces. 1 last form.
"What the... Mushihimesama boss 4?! How do i cope with this?!"
-dies-

EDIT: That will make it TWO more forms! That just...sucked.

- setting the hp of (multiple) cores to 30000
- making the movement of the boss very fluent to the last FINGER.
- making a boss armed with E-eggs to the teeth.
- making multiple forms for the boss. (for me the minimum forms is 5)
- giving it a big-ass melee weapon (sword, scythe, axe, potato, whatever.)

perhaps:

equip a very smal boss with one gigantic, moving anvil-arm, with panel aim player (no other weapons) to crash the player on the harsh way

Ouch ! - not very creative, i know, but i like the thread`s headline.

Use Joint-detaches and Bit Cores as connections for every piece of the boss.
Then set it so that the bit cores detach when the main core is low on health.

The boss' pieces will start flying around in an annoying manner, leaving the player to chase after them.

Hey, nice idea . This should also work on the reverse way and maybe the bitcores (or move joints in this case ?) should puzzle another new enemy together. Another kind of the multiple form idea.
To make it work with bitcores would be very great, especialy because of their fast moving behavior. (... mhh, or a combination of move joints and booster ?..)
