What Dr. Mancell and Mr. Flame is

The premise, in the publisher's words

Short homage game to go with the song collaboration between Waterflame and Josh Mancell, composer of the original Crash Bandicoot! Just in time for the 30th anniversary (unintentionally)! We always thought the boss fights of the original classic games like these were the most fun part but too short and unsatisfying. This scratches that itch and lets you duke it out in an unending 1v1 fashion with the boss continuously escalating in difficulty!
