Hey Product Hunt — I’m DoubleJay, the solo developer behind BROKEN SOUL : Boss Rush. It’s a 2D soulslike boss rush built around one core idea: making boss fights work in a clear, readable, grid-based format. What makes it different: • Boss-first structure — no filler exploration, just pattern learning and combat • Movement = defense — lane swaps and distance control are part of your dodge decision • Timing-heavy combat — parry, perfect dodge, and counter windows matter This project originally started as a mobile prototype. For the PC demo, I rebuilt the combat from 3 lanes to 5 lanes, added distance-based positioning, and reworked hit feel, readability, and pacing. The demo is free on Steam and currently includes World 1 only. Thanks for checking it out — happy to answer any questions.
