Boss
4 games
Description
A boss fight is a puzzle wearing armour. There's a pattern, you'll learn it by losing to it, and the fight gets easier without you getting any faster.
Tank Fury: Boss Battle 2D is the most traditional of them, with phases that change how you have to approach the thing. Rescue Boss Cut Rope is a physics puzzle rather than a fight, and Gym Boss takes the word somewhere else entirely. Annoying Boss Punch Game is the one about the other kind of boss, and it's exactly as cathartic as you'd expect.
There are 4 free games under this tag, all playable in the browser with nothing to install, and the word is doing double duty across most of them.
The fighting end lives in Action games, and Puzzle games covers the ones where the boss is a problem to solve.
