... And now you can have a fancy boss that periodically changes both of you's gravity. Like, he changes gravity and you two go in different directions, and he has different attacks depending if you're on the same direction as him, at 90 degrees and opposite of him. All counterable, with varying degrees of difficulty with matching rewards.
Like, opposite side attacks should be easy to dodge and counter, but you only get one hit. 90 degrees ones should be harder to doge but you can get more hits in, and same side should be the hardest because you can just attack him constantly.

Also, make the changes of gravity pseudo random. Instead of making it completely random, make him randomly make a list of all possible combinations at the start of the battle and them make him cycle through that list. (This way, you're guaranteed to never see the same combination twice until all combinations have been chosen)

Example, here's a possible list he could make at the start of the fight.
0 is down, 1 is right, 2 is left 3 is up (relative to the camera, of course)

3,2(isadora/boss btw)
0,1
1,1 (one of them's gravity can remain the same for a few times in a row)
3,0
2,1
1,3
0,3 (not the same as 3,0 they're flipped)
1,2
0,0
2,0
3,1
2,2
0,2
3,3
1,0
2,3

Either way, this is one example, but the list should be shuffled randomly, and only once per playthrough, if you die the list should remain the same

This way, subsequent playthroughs don't have the same experience, but struggling players can learn a consistent pattern to dodge and eventually beat the fight.

You should also add a badge that makes the game always have the same seed for random events, meaning that speedruners that hate random events can just say nope and make it consistent.
