Is it possible to manipulate the boss to land wherever we want, or does it really come down to RNG?

So far I haven't been able to find a pattern, so I've been taking blind guesses, but I figured there's gotta be a better way. It probably doesn't matter in the long run (with the run being so short altogether), but if this is possible it wouldn't hurt to know :)

As far as I know, it's the only RNG factor in the run

Alright, I guess I'll have to come to terms with that. Thanks!

I've found it's based on your movement actually. I don't know exactly how but I can consistently get a few in a row. also is there a discord for this game?

That'd be really great news! I tried my hand doing that as well but didn't get any meaningful results really.

Could you maybe upload a video to showcase how you are doing it? Perhaps then we can exactly pinpoint how to control it.

PS: I don't think there's a dedicated discord server for this game just yet

I used to think it was related to the position of your cursor somehow, but that might just have been luck..

The code below is the actionscript applied to the boss stage frame of the game's swf file. It shows that each time a jump is made, Math.random() is used to generate a random integer from 0 to 704, which is used as the x-coordinate of the fall position. The origin of the boss's coordinates is in the upper left corner, and the width of the boss is about 150. This means that if you are standing at x-coordinates between 150 and 704 (using the gray rectangle in the background as a guide, the fourth to eleventh from the left), you have the highest probability of being crushed.
