My opinion by seeing King Caco is that it's a recolor. I recommend mixing the Heretic's Lich mouth and add more spikes to the King to make it look better.

Unfortunately, this isn't something I haven't seen before: a recolor of a stock, low- or mid-level monster that acts as a boss or high-level monster with a bunch of random attacks thrown in to justify that status. I disliked all of them, and this is no exception, I'm afraid.

This gets a "No" from me.

Sorry Blue Shadow but could you please elaborate a bit more, is being a recolour the issue, if so that seems extremely unfair to people who cannot make original sprites? and what would make a monster qualify as a boss monster in you eyes?

The sprites don't fit the behavior and vice-versa. The Cacodemon isn't a boss or high-level monster, yet you're using its sprites for a monster that's supposed to be a boss or high-level monster. It's like taking a cyberdemon, reducing it's health 60 and changing its attack to fire and and imp fireball. You wouldn't expect a monster that looks like that (a cyberdemon) to be so weak, would you? It just doesn't fit.

Thanks for the feedback! I think I might create new sprites later but I don't know when I'll have time to do all of the sprites

I love the effort of your coding, but the looks of King Caco and the projectile sprites don't look too attractive. It's not a King, it's just another recolor and use of existing sprites.
