2. ⚔️ 'Overwatcher' Boss Battle Phases with a Time Theme
· The 'Overwatcher' boss features various time-themed phases and attack patterns.
· Spirit of the Past: With an old film screen-like theme, players must constantly move to dodge attacks.
· Spirit of the Present: Uses time-stopping attacks reminiscent of 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventure', and the boss appears like a Christmas wreath.
· Spirit Yet to Come: A phase where electric lasers are fired and a moon rises in the background; the boss speeds up as it takes damage. It's difficult to deal direct damage in this phase.
· True Damage Phase: When the boss's health drops below a certain level, in addition to existing attacks, time stops, clock/stopwatch projectiles, and various forms of cloned bosses (Shadow Clone Jutsu, silver duplicates) appear, leading to a more complex battle.

3. 🕰️ Clock Tower Platform Battle Phase
· When the boss's health drops below half, the boss disappears below the map, and players are transported inside a giant clock tower.
· In this phase, the 'Everything has to come to an end' debuff is applied, restricting wing usage.
· Players must parkour up the clock tower, avoiding hands chasing them from below.
· During attack patterns, numbers glow red, but there's a safe zone where only one doesn't glow, allowing players to hide there and avoid attacks.
· This phase is reminiscent of boss battles in classic platformer games like 'Metroidvania', 'Hollow Knight', or 'Shovel Knight'.
· 'Overwatcher' shares a single health bar across all phases, giving the feeling of fighting one massive entity rather than multiple stages of a boss.
