I don't really enjoy making boss fights, so I thought what if instead of boss fights infe2tation has a mini game where you get to play as D3P-UT, your robot sidekick! There'll still be an end boss to finish the game. What do you think?

It's been a minute between updates on infeZtation 2 (aka infe2tation). I've designed the first 10 levels, added lots of info to the HUD (graphically it's WIP), power ups, scoring, some more enemy types, lots of bug fixes. Development is going well, lots more to do!
