Summary0005194: red amoeba boss too easy
DescriptionThe red amoeba boss is very easy to defeat regardless of level. It runs away, gets stuck in a corner, and you find a safe spot between its fire arcs and shoot until its dead.

I have two ideas for fixing this

A) have the amoeba boss run away so much. maybe alternate running with attacking. It's cowardly ways do not make it a very engaging boss. I can almost hear it begging ``Don't kill me! Please go away!'', which does not make me feel very heroic hunting it down and killing it. Also, when outside it inevitably runs to the top of the world, and makes me build a stairway to the stars just to fight the thing.

B) Put a random phase angle into its firing system, so that there are no safe spots. Each time it fires, it fires along predetermined directions. If these changed with every shot, one could not sit in a quiet spot safely.

Are you referring to the giant red amoeba boss, or the red amoeba microboss?

At any rate, so far this:

* Added some randomization to the angles that are fired from both the giant (red and blue) amoeba bosses.
