Brooo! That was so much fun! A bit tricky at first, but I got used to it. Sorry, I'm not great at giving feedback, but you made a great game. GG! ❤

The wheel's itch.io pageGame's Take on the Theme
Primarily, the theme is addressed via the game's arena, which is a wheel that spins faster and faster. But also, many elements of the UI work with rotations or orbit systems. The order of the bosses is random, so they rotate. Many attacks use rotations, etc.
Did your team make the majority of the art and music during the jam?
I did all the code, graphic assets and music. I recorded some of the sounds (notably the bosses' voices), the rest came from "pixabay" and a little from "la sonotheque" and some were modified on Audacity.
If not, please link to any asset packs or resources used here.

Thank you very much for your comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the game and came back to it :D
It's true that the bosses can be difficult. It wasn't easy to find the right balance between a game that's demanding and challenging, that's interesting enough to make you want to start again after dying many times, but that's not unfair or unnecessarily/artificially difficult.
As for the random order, let's just say it's also a way of sticking to the theme. If you ever want to practice against certain bosses, in the game settings, you can force the order of the bosses with the “speedrun” mode. Maybe this will work for you.
Anyway, thanks again for your comment :D
Ahah, yes it's hard to make a game that requires concentration while leaving time to contemplate the polish :D Maybe that makes it a game that's fun to watch someone play. I hope so^^
And indeed, the bosses appear randomly but are more difficult depending on the order in which they appear. A boss in fifth position will have a lot more life, its moveset will sometimes be more complex, the wheel speed is increased, and the number of yellow platforms to activate before the boss is vulnerable is increased.
If you ever want to force the boss order, the speedrun mode in the settings lets you do just that.
Honestly, I'm having a bit of trouble myself when I end up with the fish or the face at level 5 ^^'
Anyway, thanks so much for playing and commenting :D
Thank you very much !
It's true that the game requires a lot of concentration. It's hard to pay too much attention to the UI, although I think it can become a skill that you acquire as you go along. If you don't pay attention to the hourglass, you can attack a boss when he becomes invulnerable again and take damage. So we'll have to pay close attention to the hourglass in future. In any case, I hope that players will integrate this difficulty with this philosophy. If not, maybe I could add some sound indicators to complete the UI :)
Anyway, thanks for playing and commenting :D
Merci d'avoir essayé le jeu :D
Effectivement, battre les cinq boss n'est pas une tâche facile au début ! Mais je suis content que le jeu donne envie de s'acharner :)
Je viens de faire une petite mise à jour en réaction à ton commentaire. Après avoir essayé de changer la couleur de l'item cœur, je n'étais pas très satisfait. Perso j'aime bien le cœur en blanc, mais je peux comprendre que ce ne soit pas le cas pour tous le monde. Alors bon, mon choix fut de ne faire aucun choix : il est désormais possible, dans le menu des paramètres, de décider à quoi ressemblera cet item parmi 14 choix d'apparences différents !
Donc merci pour ton retour^^
Oh, I'm glad you enjoyed the game! And your feedback on getting to grips with the controls makes me very happy indeed.
And if you'd like to see an expert play this game, I'm streaming regularly on Twitch right now, so I'd probably do a few games (though, without an online translator, I'm really bad at English xD). And if not, I'll probably make a gameplay video and post it in the comments or on the game page.
Thanks for commenting :)
