Super smooth game! I really enjoy the gameplay and the  game feel for the fight!
Remembers me megaman vibes, very cool!

Developer

Thank you very much for your comment, and I'm glad you enjoyed the game and the fights! Yes, that's right, we wanted the video game to have a Mega Man style and also combine it with a bit of Sonic move style =). Have an excellent day ^_^!

Fast, fun, and super satisfying! The spinning attack feels great, and the retro pixel art gives it a lot of charm. The boss fights are challenging but rewarding, making every victory feel earned. Congrats ❤🌻

Awesome concept, I feel its faster than Sonic!! so well made, translates so well the speed and sense of motion and attacking feels so rewarding and powerful, you have made something very impressive to me really, I hope you can complete the game after jam and we can see a whole new experience in fast paced action games. I rate everything on top really, so well made, also, if you have some time, please rate my game too, thanks!!!

Developer

Really, thank you so much for your great comment, it means a lot to us as it has been a lot of work to make the video game. Thank you for encouraging us to keep developing the game, it would be great to be able to do it ^_^!! Yes, I will try your game of course!!

this game is very fun, landing the spinning attack is great, but it feels like the dash attack is rendered useless by its existence. all 3 bosses are really good, but the second one was more annoying as he was a bit hard to reach, and funnily enough, he is the only boss without a stun window.

art and sounds were also great, nice job!

Thanks for playing!

The dash was mainly used for evading the boss attacks, being an attack was sort of a bonus. Try dashing up! It should make the second and third bosses easier too! I think we could’ve better communicated that the dash can be used in more directions, might update it after the jam.

If you try the game again, try using the upwards dash + spin to catch the boss. At least for me and some of the playtesters, it can be quite fun chasing the boss and dealing tons of damage on top of him!

Thanks for the playing and giving feedback!

Submitted(+2)

Ohh, the upwards dash part would've been nice

Submitted(+2)

Very nice to do lots of damage with the spin! It took me a while to get the hang of the controls, especially when hitting the bosses high in the air. But I finally got the hang of it!

Very different bosses! I had a lot of fun :D

Well done :)

The player design reminds me of playing retro Sonic! XD

Developer

Yeahhh, that was the idea of the game: to make it have Sonic's Spin but in a Megaman-style game. Thanks for playing! Have a great day ^_^

Submitted(+2)

This game is a blast! The rapid spinning attacks are so satisfying, and the pixel art gives it that perfect retro vibe. The bosses are challenging but fun, and timing your moves just right feels super rewarding. Congrats 🌻❤

Developer

Thank you for your comment!! I’m glad your experience with the game was totally satisfying =) It really took a lot of work T_T so comments like yours are always amazing to keep going. It's awesome that you liked the gameplay with the spin and enjoyed the bosses with the retro pixel art heheh. Thank you so much, really!

I like this game! It feels kind of like a mix between Megaman and Sonic.

Developer

Hihihi, Yesyes exactly, Sonic with his spin and Mega Man X with the big bosses were one of the sources of inspiration for this game, especially the character of Zero, who is awesome) If you reach the end of the game, there’s actually a little surprise. Thanks for playing and leaving your comment!

Submitted(+2)

It's a fun game. The bosses have a variety of tricks. The boss animations are well detailed. 

There are some problems where the player controls feel too smooth. When spinning, 

you can't stop, making it difficult to dodge the boss's attacks. Overall, it's an exciting game.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing!! I'm happy you enjoyed some aspects of the game! Yes, the character moves really fast, the idea was for the player to feel a great sense of speed, and even when trying to stop, to feel that force. We’ll take note of your experience to see if we can make a new balance in that aspect in the future. Thank you sooo much for your perspective and feedback!

I liked the music, the art, and the gameplay! It’s a great game, very dynamic and fun.

Developer

Thank you very much for your comment ^__^, and I'm glad you enjoyed the game! I also tried your game, and it's really good. I left a great comment on your page. Great boss design! Greetings!!

Submitted(+2)

Great visuals and feel of the whole game. Different types of movement and attacks is very nice and the boss design was also very cool to both look at and play against. Definitely requires some getting used to but once you do it is very fun to move, jump and spin all over the place :D

Developer

Thank you for your comment, and I'm glad you enjoyed the game! I played your video game too, it's amazing! Your art is fantastic. I left a comment on your wall , Great theme of the ouroboros and how you developed it. I wish you luck in this JAM!

Submitted(+2)

This is such a fun game! Controls took a bit of getting used to but were super satisfying after that, especially climbing the walls in the last stage. The atmosphere is great, the art and music are fantastic, and the bosses all felt distinct from one another. Really great job!

Submitted(+2)

Very fun with good graphics! congrats!
The music vibe it's cool, yeah

Submitted(+2)

Really liked phase of the game and art style.

Only complaint I have is that boss 2 was somewhat boring. I just wait indera  platrom in the middle for it to do low attack and hit it.
But Boss 1 was perfect!

Developer (1 edit)

Yea the boss designs can definitely be improved! For the 2nd boss, the intention was to have the player chase the boss using the spin and deal damage but I can see players just waiting on the ground and hitting it too. Maybe by having a speedrun time leaderboard, players would be encouraged to kill the boss faster and not wait for the boss to come to them.

Thanks for playing and giving feedback!

Loved the game! Really enjoyed playing it, nice mechanics, amazing music, art is a blast!! Well done :)

Game looks and plays really well, It was super easy to cheese the bosses, but while trying to be clever, I incidentally clipped out of bounds when trying to stay in the corner as the airplane bomber came at me so I broken the game, lol.
Besides that one funny gamebreaking moment, I really enjoyed this!

Developer(+1)

Oh ya that happens sometimes. Didn’t have time to fix it but sometimes if the boss comes from the other side he can push you back in haha.

Thanks for playing it though!

Submitted(+2)

I felt I was able to cheese the bosses a little bit but it was very fun regardless! This was a great time, congratulations.  

Developer

Thank you for the comment and for trying the game. Yesssssss!!! The idea was that you could find a more effective way to beat the bosses if the player has a lot of skill ( like in your case). But if the player didn’t have much experience, they could still enjoy trying. Finding a perfect balance (something really hard to achieve, haha).

If you finish the game, something 'special' will appear at the end and it could enhance your gaming experience! Thanks for playing^__^

Submitted(+2)

ngl you can play without dash and spam x c hella enjoyable and hand tiring

Developer

Haha ya. Dash was mainly if you want to quickly escape. Spinning is the main attack, following the theme! Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+2)

You even got an intro! Great job—the controls are excellent, and the sound is top-notch!

Developer

Thank you so much for your comment ^__^ I'm glad you liked the game and appreciated the intro!! The controls were thanks to a great programmer, Gnox, and the music to the amazing Berukkula. Have a great day!! I hope to try your game soon.
