Our take on Rustled Pete
The four forms change the difficulty, but all are forms of the same boss. The progression described here is a series of increasingly difficult encounters with Pete, rather than a roster of different bosses.
What is Rustled Pete?
Rustled Pete is a boss-fighting game with one opponent, Pete, who has four forms.
Each form is harder than the previous one. The player has one life and can time attacks while building a combo counter to deal devastating blows. Tools can stun Pete.
