The Caffiend

The Caffiend is the boss (in both meanings of the word) of Joblin, and acts as the first boss fight of the game. It is obsessed with productivity, to the point where it angled the Joblin toilet seats at 45 degrees to reduce bathroom breaks. As a result of its excessive caffeination, it shouts at all times and its speech is in all caps.

## Appearance

The Caffiend is a hulking, twitchy goblin wearing a suit with a loose tie, as well as some sort of metal mask. It also wears the Mana Press on its back, which seemingly pumps caffeine directly into its bloodstream through several tubes.

## Boss Fight

### The Caffiend

* **Chop** - If Jackie is close to the Caffiend, it winds up for a moment and perform a swift overhead chop.
* **Slam** - The Caffiend flails its arms around above its head before leaping towards Jackie, slamming into the ground and causing a small explosion. While it is in the air, a red circle indicates where it will land.
* **Joblin Toss** - If the Caffiend is near a Canbassador, it can pick them up, shake them, and throw them at Jackie. The Canbassador explodes shortly after landing.

Periodically throughout the fight, the Caffiend will use the Mana Press on its back, pumping caffeine into its blood. This sends it into a frenzy, where it gains new attacks and the music gets faster.

* **Triple Swing** - The chop attack is replaced with a faster attack where the Caffiend swings its arms three times in front of itself.
* **Hyper Slam** - The same as its regular slam attack, but considerably faster.
* **Stomp** - The Caffiend stomps 3 times in quick succession, which causes large explosions around it.
* **Charge** - The Caffiend charges up, then rushes forward, with a red indicator on the ground showing where it will charge towards. It rushes 3 times in quick succession, after which collides with a wall and becomes dizzy for several seconds. This ends its frenzy, and it also drops several boxes from the ceiling and spawns 2 Canbassadors.

### 10x Caffiend

As the 10x Caffiend, it has lost the Mana Press, and the tubes on its body are severed. It now wears a purple suit, and its eyes glow purple as a result of its "experimental caffeination." In this fight, the Caffiend is much faster than before, and gains many new attacks.

* **Chop** - Same as the first fight.
* **Slam** - Same as the first fight.
* **Throw** - The Caffiend grabs a nearby object, and throws it at Jackie. It can also grab and throw a Canbassador in the same way as the previous fight.
* **Strike** - The Caffiend quickly moves behind Jackie. It then prepares an attack and executes it after a short time, giving Jackie only a narrow window to escape.

Similar to the regular fight, the Caffiend will caffeinate itself periodically throughout the battle. This will put it into a frenzy, where it has access to new attacks and is faster.

* **Triple Swing** - Same as the first fight.
* **Hyper Slam** - Same as the first fight.
* **Throw** - Same as its regular throw attack.
* **Leap** - The Caffiend leaps high into the air, then falls back down with a whistling sound, creating a huge explosion. A red indicator similar to its slam attack shows the area of effect.
* **Charge** - The Caffiend charges up, then rushes forward, with a red indicator on the ground showing where it will charge towards. Unlike the first fight, it now rushes 5 times in a row, it is not stunned afterwards, nothing falls from above, and this does not end the frenzy.
* **Beam** - The Caffiend charges for a few seconds, then releases a red beam from its face. It stands in place, rotating so that the beam follows Jackie. This attack lasts several seconds, or until it hits Jackie. This causes several boxes and two Canbassadors to fall from the ceiling and ends its frenzy.
