Rated! ;) Supercute!

Visuals are very good! The game is a bit difficult though

Super cool idea, I love the tag-team stuff going on here !

Music is great, the little characters are fantastic too.

The game is pretty hard honestly, as the rotation of the characters seemed unresponsive at time. The characters movement are a bit slow too, compared to the first boss for exemple.

But that mostly just some fine tuning to do, the game itself really has potential, good work !

I like a lot the visuals, the animations are really awesome, pixel art really well executed. The mechanics are really fun too, just at times i think that im going above the boss sprite but it may be just me, I really like everything you did. I rate graphics music and fun on top but all is great really, also if you have some time, please rate my game too, thanks!!

Such a fun and creative idea! Spinning through enemies feels super satisfying, and the jailbreak theme makes it even more exciting. Congrats 🌻❤

Loved how this game looks! Really an amazing work! The controls were a bit rought some times, sometimes moving the mouse in circles did nothing and other did, but overall its a very good game! :D

I love graphic and music, but controls are inconvenient a little bit

Submitted

Very very interesting mechanic, I did find the mouse related rotation to be very awkward to control, but I really do love the premise of prisoners chained together, and having all the prisoners play differently it's a really cool idea and the art really gives off that grimy prison escape feel.

I loved the art in this one, the controls confused me a bit, but it was still cool.

i chuckled seeing the little guy waddling. The art on this is spectacular, very very very good. i couldn't beeat the first boss but had fun trying all the characters, until I got a bug that said I couldn't use 2 of the same character even though I had 2 different guys.

B A L L. I am in love with the unique mechanic and gameplay loop but the game could use some polish. I am in love with the visual style and the creativity surrounding the game!
