Boss Fight: Nosk

Attacks: Charges forward and back. Shoots orange blobs from its core that stick to the ground. Jumps and rains blobs.
Strategy: Jump and dash over Nosk during its charge. Avoid blobs by dashing away. Healing is difficult due to Nosk's speed and area coverage. The blob rain attack offers a brief window to heal by running to the end of the screen. Focus on dodging its most common attack, the charge.
