Game's Take on the Theme
Well, the game involves spinning a weapon and throwing it. Classic application of torque. Here, you not only have to aim but also time the launch so it hits the enemy.
Did your team make the majority of the art and music during the jam?
yes

simple and fun art style and gameplay! had fun with the spinning pickaxe and wish there were more bosses and abilities to have fun with. great job all around though!
The real-time spinning and swinging of weapons might not be for me. I would suggest that if you can also injure enemies with weapons stuck into the ground, it would be better. Or if you spin and swing your weapon up and bounce it off the ceiling or wall for 1-2 times, it would make the gameplay more interesting.
Thanks for playing! I'll consider that.
Spin Mechanics is good and nice gameplay.
Thanks !
Nice!
Thanks a lot.
too hard to hit :C
Thank you for playing. (it was supposed to be hard to hit..)
I think that intent is fine, but being hard to hit, and the last boss being hard to jump over too makes it a bit frustrating as a player. The other ones are also hard to hit, but you can leap over them and continue trying. On the third boss, I was thinking of it as a timer in which I needed to hit it until it died before it could reach me (A demon wall from final fantasy basically) and once I couldn't hit it more than twice before it reached me, I just gave up.
Facing difficult gameplay isn't an issue, but being sandwiched by difficult gameplay is draining.
I see. I'll try making the game better.
i really love this concept! my only suggestions would be to give some sort of indication about where the hatchet is going to go before release. i might just be bad at the game but it felt a little random to me (i did beat it though! not the secret boss, but just the main 3!)
i think what maybe could make it feel a little better would also be letting the player use either LMB or space to charge up the spin? i found it hard to maneuver/jump while charging because my left hand was doing all the work.
i'm looking forward to playing this in its finished state!! very good job so far imo
Thanks a lot for playing. I'll consider adding LMB to spin. (i'm left handed so i didn't consider other's pov). Thanks again
Love the spinning mechanic! Beat all the bosses too (w/o cheats).
A little bit of nick pick: currently the release arc seems to favor attacks from the left side, is this intended?
Thanks for playing! And yes, the assassin can only spin clockwise to make the game- balanced
"That wasn't supposed to happen" Got past the hidden thing without cheats! It was appropriately hard. Good game! Also love the spinning mechanic!
Thanks for playing :). i will be adding more bosses.
Awesome! I'm excited!
