Game's Take on the Theme
The protagonist is a juggler that deals damage with her spiraling juggling balls. The gameplay is therefore centered around handling a spinning hitbox. The bosses' attacks are all spin themed, play the game to find out more!

Oustanding art style and visuals. I like the clear indicators for attack patterns and the animatios. Nicely done.

What incredible art! The game itself is very good, but the art really stands out.

Love the concept and the gameplay. Controls feel good and the bosses are fun too. Good job.

I like the visuals a lot, these really match the circus ambient so well, also the idea to attack with the juggling balls is quite clever, I like how this system works and the movement feels smooth. I rate graphics, control and fun the most,but all is cool really, also, if you have time, please rate my game too, thanks!!!

The art is gorgeous, I truly love the visuals! The design of the bosses is also pretty good, this game has a lot of potential. The game is very simple but entertaining and the music is good as well! I would have liked for the screen to be smaller since when I play in browser the screen is just too big for me to enjoy the game fully. Besides that, the game is very enjoyable overall, good job!

FUCK, this is really good!!! It would easily be a commercially successful game, keep going guys.
The game design is impeccable, sounds and mechanics are simply incredible.
I would buy it easily.

Very beautiful, but very tough game)) I was able to defeat only 1 boss.

The gameplay is simple but solid!  I really like the carnival theme and the sprite work is lovely.  I would have liked to see more attack variety, but great work, overall!

There should have been separate arenas for the bosses, allowing the player to choose where to go. Since bosses have a lot of health and it's easy to lose, replaying the fights doesn’t feel appealing.

- The art style is great, love the character design specifically they all have a lot of personality
- The juggling balls being a vampire survivors style auto-attack is a nice thematic take on the theme
- I'd have liked to see a bit more attack variety in the first boss
Great job this plays really well!

I like the boss designs and the background is cool

If you plan on continuing this post jam, some more move sets could be nice, maybe faster spinning, a dash, more circus theme attacks would be a good way to create some more challenge and avoid repetition. But overall, I did like the art and the aesthetic you established and I think it would be worth continuing and fleshing  out a bit more!

Still an impressive job to do this in just two days!

Liked the boss design! The pixel art was also very nicely done!

Nice idea!

I love the art in this! It's not too difficult but it requires a lot of concentration.

Overall a very good game and good relationship with the theme.

I would have liked to have some sort of "ultimate" or something similar to not make the gameplay so repetitive. (This is a personal thing)

 Congratulations!

Nice looking little game. Not too hard but still takes some patience to beat.
One mistake can ruin whole run. That being said damage I received from bosses does seem inconsistent.

Fun game! The Duo is kicking my butt haha but I had a lot of fun in general. I would add a few more invincibility frames but that's about it. The music, sfxs and art match the gameplay very well!
