Everything is rotating! The boss is quite intense, I couldn't past the first one, I'm just a noob xD

Developer(+1)

lol Thanks for playing :D takes a bit of practice, thanks again for giving it a "spin" XD

Submitted(+3)

Woah everything is spinning in this game! I really appreciate that you crafted the attacks in a way that players have room to dodge. So player can always learn and adapt to those patterns. Nice work!

Developer

So glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for the kind words :D <3

Very cool game, it was quite challenging for me in the beginning. However, after I locked in, the game felt great to play. I think my favorite part is whenever I had the buzz saw attack because after having to dodge a bunch of projectiles from the boss, I could finally relax and have an impactful counter attack! Good job on this game.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Glad you liked it :D

Developer(+1)

oooh I know the feeling XD thank you so much for playing <3

Dude this was really fun! The controls are easy to grasp, and it was challenging but the hitboxes are generous so evading is super doable. The art is very cool, it's chaotic in a way that's not too distracting from the gameplay. And the soundtrack is fire. 

My only complaint is that the spin mechanic feels unnecessarily tedious, I don't think it adds much and I enjoyed the game more when I ignored it. 

Overall though I loved every second of it! I'll miss my robot friend that gives me gifts :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the valuable feedback! Glad you had fun with it :)

Love the feedback <3 thank you so much for playing and for the kind words :D

Amazing game! The bullet patterns were tough but aesthetically pleasing. I loved the mixed media design on the UI as well, it all works very cohesively! Really nailed it!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, and enjoy the game! :)

<3 thank you for playing and for the feedback :)

Nice bullet hell! I'm assuming all bullet patterns have the same dps? Would be nice to see some mechanic, which would encourage player to switch between them, like you get temporary damage buff for one of attack patterns, which encourages you to use it. Otherwise it feels like you can just use laser, if you are in front of the boss and spreadshot, if you on one of the sides. Also 2nd boss "arms" felt a bit too sturdy.

Developer(+1)

thanks for playing!  If you get up close with the soreadshot you do a lot more damage and the burst shot is secretly op :) will check you game in the morning my dudes thanks again for trying spinfinity 

Submitted(+1)

Meh, so I guess I have used the worst attack pattern, which is laser? :D

Developer

Thanks for playing <3 on keyboard V is the laser, (you can check the keys on the right side of the in-game wallpaper), you can also redefine the keys:  Main Menu > Settings > Controls

Duude, this was a hard bullet hell, but I love bullet hells so I ejoyed it a lot! I loved its visually strong art style, it was really fitting with eveything, trully an amazing job and a great Bullet hell! Cheers! :D

Developer

Thank you for playing and for the kind words <3 really glad u enjoyed it :D

Super cool game, I really loved the aesthetic of it too i think u nailed it!

Developer

Thank you for playing, as the art guy I am glad you liked the aesthetic XD all came together with a wonderful team <3

Submitted(+3)

lovely game. You have some very good bullet patterns.

Developer (1 edit)

yay! As the technical dev that means a lot! Thanks for playing :) overall the difficulty balance was a real pain XD.    I loved your entry :)

Submitted(+3)

Hi guys, nice collaboration!

i like the 'wheel of fortune' spam spinning!

great music and visual style

quite tough but i have gotten to the last boss and i will crack it soon!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for playing and for the nice words XD 

Submitted(+3)

I reaaaally like bullet hell so i had so much fun with this game!
solid mechanics, very well designed boss fights and really balanced gameplay!! Loved it!!

Developer(+1)

Thank you!!! <3 Really glad you enjoyed it, our Technical Lead RUOK will love this comment for sure lol

Submitted(+3)

Unfortunately, I'm not very good at bullet hells so I couldn't get to the end; however, I can recognize the high quality of the game. The visuals and the audio all work together to make me feel like I'm a robot in space. Controls are simple and the movement is snappy. The colour palettes for each boss look amazing as well as their visual effects.

I could not figure out what the Spin mechanic was or how to use it on keyboard. Overall, it is a very good game for those who enjoy bullet hells!

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much for the feedback and thanks for enjoying the game :) Balancing the difficulty was a rough process, the earlier iteration we tested was way harder, haha...

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for the detailed feedback, we intend to keep working on it after the jam so every feedback is precious, thanks again <3

Submitted(+3)

very nice for jam, lots of safespots but overall fun and enjoyable. id assume this is like a good middleground for non shmup players, but even as a player it was still challenging enough in a blind run.


slapping my run in here as well.

Developer

Thank you so much for playing! I watched the whole play through, you found some awesome safe spots. The difficulty was the hardest thing for me as the technical designer to get right, we went from very hard to very easy to hopefully somewhere in between haha you did great thank you 

Developer

This is awesome, thank you so much for making a video of the run <3

Submitted(+3)

The game is super super hard to a new shmup player that's for sure, though a friend of mine looove these types of game I know he'd love the difficulty (might be easy for him though, the skill cap is high in games like these)
Game was great overall. I didn't get why my robot started dealing massive melee damage sometimes (probably the spin command but since I was on kb I don't really know how I did it)
I can see the dev love these types of games
Great job !

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for playing, your comments are spot on :) <3

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing, indeed balance in this games are super hard specially when we want to please every player, the game was actually  "nerfed" to try and please also non shmup players but it is indeed challenging XD thanks again for trying it <3

Submitted(+3)

That was really… tough. Really tough. The first attacks left almost no room to dodge. In the trailer, it looks challenging but doable… 😅

Visually, it’s cool, and the sound design is nice, but I couldn’t even come close to beating the first boss :(

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! Sorry about the difficulty curve, we didn't want to drive our lead developer up the wall because he has been balancing and nerfing as much as he could without breaking the game, haha... Appreciate the feedback though!

Developer

Thanks so much for playing!! All the patterns are doable and not closed off, but it can take you off guard if you're not used to this type of gameplay. I did a bit of a playthrough here to demonstrate :) Thanks again for taking the time we really appreciate 

Developer

Thank you for giving it a Spin XD it takes a bit of practice for sure but thank you for trying <3

Very good game! 

Convenient, smooth controls, which is important for this genre. The difficulty is high, as expected from Bullet Hell.

I would especially like to note the wonderful music and effects.

This is what happens when a gifted team gets together =)

I love this game! Great idea and implementation. The art, sfx, and music are all 5/5. The boss bullet designs are something I struggled with in my shmup. I could use some tips! Great job.

Developer(+1)

Cheers! Glad you enjoyed it. I really loved your game too, the whole Vertical to Horizontal shift was a nice feature and I did enjoy your bullet patterns, You're going in the right direction :D

S-P-I-N--T-O--W-I-N

This is the second game called "Spinfinity" made in this jam that I played and... they're both amazing!!! (this name must be blessed or something)

The game is really fun, the music is hype, the artstyle is cool (even if the size of the play area is deceptively large)

The bosses are CRAZY, the bullet paterns are INSANE and the voice is really funny!!! (did you use microsoft sam?)

I managed to beat the game with a score of 702875 after 40 minutes and loved every second of it!

Developer(+2)

Haha, thanks for the kind words and enjoying our game! Yeah the Microsoft SAM was my idea, I thought it would weirdly fit because I thought that voice in general was such a funny throwback meme. Thank you for playing and enjoying it! ^_^

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much for playing and for the awesome feedback XD

Submitted(+3)

I'm an old man :) why so quick. I got to the second boss. Nice.

 Too bad I had to download it, I should have made it HTML5.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing and the feedback! Unfortunately, the engine we used couldn't be converted to HTML5! :)

Developer

Thank you for trying it, your game super cool XD
