Game's Take on the Theme
You play as a cat trying to knock some rats that are on top of a bell by spinning around it to make them dizzy! The whole game's coordinate system is spherical based, meaning everything in it spins (except for the player).

Did your team make the majority of the art and music during the jam?
Yes.

I like the visuals a lot, the mechanics are solid, the theme of rotation is nicely made, the cat movement is fun and well done, I like all the aspects really, I rate graphics, control, fun and music the most, but all is great really, also, if you have some time, please, rate my game too, thanks!!!!

PS Its very professional the game and you even added press kit, well done everywhere!!!

The rotation is very well executed, and it's great to make our adorable little cat run and jump :D But I was a bit confused about how to face the boss.

Anyway, well done for everything you've created :D

Quite unique, an original way of handling the theme, awesome art, and beautiful music. I think my only issue is with the ghosts, which sometimes seem impossible to dodge, I definitely think that could be polished. Other than that, I have nothing bad to say, one of my favorites from the jam.

I really like this game! The art and the music rock! No spoilers, but I was so pleasantly surprised by that twist, I played a second time just to see if I could do better than the first. I really appreciate that there's no HP to keep track of because I would have died so many times haha! It'll be interesting to see people try to speed run this. I enjoyed this a lot, congrats on a great game!

creative game!, laps being how you damage the boss instead of thwe obvious "bell has hands that he slams down and you attack " makes it pretty cool, though mayyybe a lil lacking in boss design (its just a bell) but i struggle with that too otherwise great game!

You got a really original and interesting concept here. I love the retro pixel art and the rotation effect looks really cool. I actually had a lot of fun playing it! I like the fact its different in a unique way from what we know as a boss rush. The only issues I had were mainly that it was a bit confusing at first, it was hard to tell if ringing the bell was actually doing damage to the boss or it was just collecting blue orbs. Anyways, good job!!

Definitely a pretty damn interesting game overall. I never would've thought to make an endless runner work as a boss rush game, but I'd say you definitely did it pretty well. Although I do have some issues

First off, I love the simplicity of the game in general. The controls are tight as well. Love that holding up or down has the cat walk upright lol

The presentation of the game as a whole is damn great, both audio and visual-wise. At first I loved the spin effect on the sides of the bell. However, after a while I felt like it started to become something of a detriment since it was a little hard to tell when some objects were actually close enough to me yet.

The projectiles as a whole were pretty well balanced, although I feel like the ghosts could've used relatively smaller hitboxes than what they currently have. Or atleast they could've been spread out a little more. I also think that the cacti could've been a little more noticeable or stood out more since sometimes I couldn't even see them ( Probably just a skill issue though ). I do also wish there was a little more feedback when you do damage to the boss. I wasn't actually sure what ringing the bell did. Sometimes it seemed like it caused damage to the boss, other times it seemed like it just changed the type of attack thrown at you.

I'd say the rat bosses on the bell were done pretty well, however I think the next boss suffered from quite a few issues. Primarily in terms of readability. I'm not really a fan of both the boss and the background having blue as  a primary colour. It kinda caused the book and the pickups that you need to damage the boss to all blend into one another.

I also think that the blue projectiles should've honestly looked differently since they looked a little too much like the pickups you needed to collect. Especially since they also kinda blended into everything else like I mentioned above. I do think the damage feedback is better in this boss than with the bell though.

At the end of the day, despite my issues, this was still a damn fun game. Great work on this one

Cool and unique game idea! The controls are smooth and art/animations are good. I was confused about what objects are damaging (the blue circles didn't seem to do damage, but everything else did?) and also what the current progress is (I thought phase 1 was going to be endless then suddenly got hit with phase 2, and spent a long time on phase 2 with no idea what happens next). Also I thought that blue circle thing did damage in phase 2 because it knocked me back, only to realize later that touching that progressed/changed the boss's attacks.

The boss fight was a bit long, feel like I should have seen the 2nd boss faster, im glad the damage was forgiving though, I kept running into those bullets.  Great sound track, and cute cat.

game is interesting.

Looks like an NES bootleg in the best way possible! The music is also nice. I'd probably recommend to make it so you can hit the rope from the wrong way as well, as long as the player still makes a full route. Great job overall!

The cat is awesome, and the bell is too. But the highlight for me is definitely the music, which is such a great retro piece.

very unique, super cool but missing emphasis on bosses and feedback in a few places.

This game slaps. It's like the chrome dinosaur game but with epic art and funny rats. Also I like that you can hold up as your walking and just strut along. Very epic game 10/10
