You get check pointed between each warning state so just survive till you reach those at least.

I'm not exactly he best Bullet Hell survivor ya know
I believe the game saves between each section so yeah, gonna try more.

What happens is
I get barraged by a lot of attacks, and eventually I die and then the game closes

If you "die" the game will crash and you can boot the game back up, it will start from your last "checkpoint".

Hm, from what I remember about the fight.
Eye flash is basically Simon says. Just get in rhythm and learn when you need to stop or move.
The zigzagging fireball stuff just find where the gap is and stay there.
The glove fire stuff can be easily strafed around.

But it doesn't seem like I'm dealing any damage to him @_@
When the Fight icon appears and I press it I deal like 1 damage to him

That doesn't matter.
Every heart section thing is a checkpoint. just get to the last one and the rest is gravy

Hold on for long enough one of his "eyes" will light up and put you into one of the checkpoint sections, you heal up in there and can do actual meaningful things.
Tizoc

Ah OK then thanks.
I'll do that tomorrow
The damn thing is too creepy pasta for my tastes.
Seriously why the HELL would you go such a design after all the adorable and better monster designs throughout the game @_@
That's completely intentional.

I can't stop thinking about this game even after completing it. This is some 999 / To the Moon tier shit.
It is 100% a trap, and the game is doing it for your own good. Trust me on that.
Same. My only complaint with the game is that it's a bit too easy on Pacifist, although I get it's so that anyone can enjoy the story. Still hoping Toby ends up implementing the rest of hard mode.

It's heavily inspired by Earthbound, a 20 year old game.

Never played Earthbound despite knowing its inspirations :X
I always thought it was a piss take at how everything nowadays was edgy and dark and shit, like the complete opposite of everything you had encountered (cute and cuddly, i mean, the nickname of the boss you encounter previous to him is "fluffybuns"), like the sort of thing an edgy teen would find cool, a murderous scary "realistically" rendered monsters that uses flame throwers and nuclear bombs and wants to kill everything, it was like "Cold Steel the hedgehog" in boss form.

I mean considering that
ahhhhh, nevermind. Give it until the True Pacifist end, there's a point to it.
another reason so you hate him lol

Last night I had some trouble sleeping because I felt guilty about killing the second boss instead of letting him live, which bodes well for this game's emotional impact. I felt nothing after killing the first boss, though. She was pretty obnoxious.
My best friend says I'll LOVE
and HATE
. I have no idea who either of these people are, so I look forward to seeing if he's right!

Might I ask why you killed him?

Killing everything in my way.
Everyone does the "save everyone" run first, so I figured I'd enjoy myself more doing my own thing and killing everything instead! Makes for a more fun conversation, imo, since everyone I know who has played it asks "What kind of run are you doing?" when they expect you to reply "Pacifist."
Not me, though! I march to the sound of my own drum!
you probably aren't actually doing the kill everything route

Pretty sure you can't even do Genocide on the first playthrough, like Pacifist. You end up at Neutral regardless.

I did it on a clear playthrough on my old laptop and you can do it.

Well nevermind then. It's easy to mess up without a guide anyway.
Cipher Peon

Nope! I was told I had already messed up, and that's fine with me! I'd rather stay the course than resetting and doing it all over again, especially since I plan on replaying it anyway. I'm just going to continue doing what I'm doing!

Thank you!
I'm still having a blast and I'm feeling the emotional gut punches already. The "where are they"s of the village protected by the
guard dog couple
It's been a very fascinating ride.

Somewhat liking the game, but as I progress, I keep wanting more "jrpg" Earthbound-style gameplay from it.
Basically what I'm saying, the potential is there, but I don't know how doable it would be for the dev(s).

I do agree that it's my least favorite part of the game.

Crossposting from the Steven Universe thread, because this is awesome:

It's funny because not long ago I was thinking of the similarities between Steven Universe and Undertale, how heartwarming and hilarious they are, yet the 20% of the time they get serious, they get serious.

I'm upset that people answered this post with anything other than "determination".

Go for it! But a fair warning, unless you're looking it up it isn't technically a genocide run. You have to go out of your way to make that shit happen and if you missed it in the ruins it's too late. So you will get your own spin on things, but it will still be a neutral ending.
Edit: Looks like someone already waned ya. Carry on then. It will make the whole run very easy too. So that's neat.

Since I can't get enough of Undertale but don't want to do a genocide run, I ended up downloading a couple savegames before the exclusive genocide bosses. Holy shit those guys don't fuck around.
is tough, but
takes it to a whole new level.

So, is there any way to raise level without killing?
I guess. I mistake I did at first is that I thought I had to lower health like it was Pokemon, lol.

Sleep at the inn in Snowdin.
Oh well. Is there any story penalty if I killed anything? I accidentally killed an early game enemy when I first started.
Oh yeah, completely forgot about that place. I was a bit too cheap to spend money there when i first arrived.
