Game's Take on the Theme
You are a d-JAY, you spin when you move, you can't help it. It's an affliction that was caused by too much d-JAYing.
Did your team make the majority of the art and music during the jam?
Art all of it, music just one piece, everything else is credited on the game page.

Honestly i think Margaret won that argument, she was making some good points.
I think the shoot direction being where you are facing is a bit hard to get used to and do properly, atleast for me.
The game has a lot of character though, normally I'll skip dialogue but it was pretty funny in this, good job!
Absolute cinema! This was a really awesome game — bosses are diverse and even have multiple phases. The controls are tricky but feel fair, like something you just need to master. The music and visual style have their own charm, and on top of that, there’s even a story!
I like the visuals, very simple and effective, also the fact we spin as we move fits in the theme and is fun haha, I rate fun, controls and graphics on top but all is great, also, if you have some time, please, rate my game too, thanks!!!!
Very goofy game, I quite enjoyed it. There is a cool npc that is shaped like a d***
Love the whole mood of the game. Dialogue was intriguing. Boss design is very good, great that you managed to get in so much variety in attacks; all stages of the bosses felt very different.
Good level of difficulty, your take on the theme adds a unique challenge. Forces your aim to be reset whenever you move, and rewards quick aiming.
For improvements, I'd suggest tightening up the dialogue, maybe cut it by about 20% (a couple of conversations went on a bit too long). I'd also suggest adding a few frames invulnerability when you use the right-click dodge. As it is, I didn't find it that useful in the Elton Johns Ghost fight.
Overall, strong and stylised submission. Well done!
Thanks for the comment and thanks for playing! I agree on the dialogue. This is already cut down quite a lot from what it was, but would have liked it to be more direct and to the point. The dash i thought was handy for the turning laser and multiple red projectile patterns, but of course there can be a way of playing that i’ve not used that doesn’t need it. Originally it was an invincible dash, but this made it way too easy, wanted to experiment with a stamina bar for dashing invincible but in the end went for this. Thanks again!
Very surreal, remind me a lot of those old school flash game. However, I feel like the game lean on the theme "Spin" too much that make it hard to enjoy. The control are really hard to use and clunky. Boss design wise, they are all very creative and plenty of moveset. The camera work during the fight is great too. Overall, great game, looking forward to see how it develop <3
Thanks for playing. Shame you didn't take to the controls as much, - I feel like they are something that take a bit of getting used to, but then once they click then they flow, but understand that getting to that stage can be tricky and easy for me to say when I was using them for 100s of hours while making the game! Thanks again
Great game. I think the idea of spinning when the player moves is a great idea because you always have to adjust your position to ensure you can hit the boss as they move around. I think that normal mode is a little too hard for the player, but in any case their attacks were mostly easy to follow and it’s probably just my own skill issue for dying all the time lol. In any case, good job on the game!
Nice game! Can't see myself getting farther than normal mode, but had a good time!
Ahah! While I was fighting Elton John, I didn't think the game could get any crazier. Then came the DJ-copter fight! Then came the credits!
I finished the game in normal mode, after a lot of effort :D What it must be like in the more difficult modes! I'll try again later :)
Bravo ! I laughed a lot, and tried and retried a lot to become the best DJ :D
Ah glad you completed it! :) And normal mode, certainly for the last boss, is still heavy!(..as I'm sure you know!). Hard will be very tricky for the last boss, I haven't quite done it but got close enough to know it's possible, but don't feel bad if it's too tough!.. and for Elton you'd need a pretty good run too (you can only take 10 hits as opposed to 20, so have to be very patient). As for Brutal mode, I kind of put that in because I know that for each boss it is theoretically possible. I have completed the first boss on Brutal, second I am sure is possible as I came so close, but not quite, last as I say on the menu I think is possible but would take such mastery of timings that not sure anybody will get that far! Might try it again when I'm feeling able!
Thanks for playing!
Loved the game, the dj rotating because he dj's to much was really funny to me. Mechanics felt really smooth as well. Great job on this!
Brutal level and 5 start of fun!
I will want to spend more time in this game but I want to test as much submissions as possible. But for real maybe I will back to this game later.
GJ!
