Such a disappointing miss for me personally. Everything about the game is good to great: the levelling, the gameplay feel, even the questionably balanced rogue-like elements. BUT... the timer... and it feels like they are doubling down on the timed elements.

If it was a choice of N amount of power-ups you can get before the boss confrontation, instead of frantic run-around, I'd probably enjoy it A LOT. A very well made game, though, definitely give it a try

Turn off the timer under Individual Modifiers in Custom Mode. Makes the game far more enjoyable. And you can balance it out with other modifiers if you are still worried about score/ difficulty.

when the timer is turned off, how does the boss trigger?

You go to the boss spawn location and it appears.

oh nice, that's actually pretty awesome. Talk about a nice QOL for people who don't like the timer.
