Er, by "most" of the bosses, do you mean the one? Because the Universal Soldier boss (the one who keeps standing up after you knock him down) is the only boss you need to kill by forcing him off the bottom of the screen. All of the other bosses can be defeated by other means, and in fact I think most of the bosses can't even be defeated that way.
Sorry, this is kind of outdated, back when i played there was no indication that a boss was defeatable with shooting, after a while their endurance just made me say "screw this" and destroy the terrain they were standing on, not to mention that there have been more stages, bros and tricks (more unique melee attacks) so i might just update this one later.
How\'d you leave out the nearly 100% destructible environments? That\'s what makes the game so unique, the fact that you can destroy the ground, tunnel through a mountain to the other side, break up behind enemies, and more! It plays so differently from any other shooter out there for that reason alone.

The NOT Game of the Year that somehow is more entertaining than that one
Simply put, Broforce is a 2D shooter game that mixes the action and speed of Contra with the simple movements of Metal Slug and then injects the results with a non-recommended dose of steroids.
One of the most attractive features in this game, is the fact that so far, all characters are based on the characters of the 80's and 90's action/epic/sci-fi movies, so you will find yourself in an overtop battle full of explotions and gunfights while playing as Rambo, Conan, and even Agent J.
In terms of gameplay, well, as said before, this game is a 2D shooter, you start in point A and have to reach point B; it sounds straighfoward, but one of the things that makes the experience challenging is that, like in the arcade shooter games it seems to be based on, you die in one hit; of course, it is frustrating since you start each stage with just one bro; but it becomes cool when you start rescuing hostages, which add more bros to your group, of course, a common complaint is that you are forced to use the bro you just rescued, and as soon as you die with that one you get another different, but to be honest; that sounds kind of cool and makes the game kind of realistic, just like how you die in one hit, of course, i do understand the frustration some people go through when the forced next character is not apropriate for the situation at hand.
Of course, there has to be some disapointing stuff in the game, and in this case, it seems to be the bosses; running through the stages feels cool, mooks with guns, kamikaze guys with dynamite strapped to their chest, big thugs with machine guns, and much more, but the bosses are kind of a let down, don't misunderstand, the designs, attack paterns and weapons ARE cool, but the only way to defeat most bosses is by destroying the ground under them so they die by falling off-screen; and after a while it becomes repetitive, but as said before, is not necesarily bad, and for a game still on early access, it is something that can still be fixed; and there are still some cool boss fights, like the helicopter boss; so, all things said and done, it IS an enjoyable experience, and maybe with time some of it's flaws can be ironed out, and if you don't feel like spending cash until the full release, you can try the "Expendabross" game since it's a shorter free version.
