Some Details
In addition to moving, the player can fire a damaging projectile and a knockback projectile that can be used as a "dash".
The headless Mule starts the battle with two attacks, fireballs that are thrown from a distance and jumping towards the player that quickly reduces the distance between them, while at the same time running towards the player between these attacks.
This pattern means that the player has to use his knockback shot to escape the mule, making him have to choose between shots according to the moment.
When reaching 50% health, meteors start to fall on the battlefield, limiting the player's movement and making knockback shots more valuable. The meteors intensify even more when the mule reaches 25% health.
