Game's Take on the Theme
The characters are thrown in a world fueled by Torque. Almost every boss and weapon utilizes rotation in some way

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

Gamepad support is a grat touch. I found it really hard to play on keyboard. I love how the game is thought through, the bosses, the upgrades and the style.

What a FANTASTIC game! I fell in love with the lore. The visuals, music, and gameplay are really good!

Game is real solid! Valerie is a particularly fun character for me ( I love melee!)

The game deserves a lot of praise, combat is simple and well put together, it's a great slower-paced hollow-knight esque combat, which much more deliberate slashes. There's good pacing in the action which I enjoy, the large variety of bosses and the great presentation.

I want to shoutout the music being particularly great in the game, really pulls you into the action.

Only nitpick would be that the controls can take some time to get used to, dashes are very slow and some attacks can lock you in which is rough. This comes from the perspective of a DMC player that really enjoys fast-paced slash-em-up, so take it with a grain of salt.

Very BEAUTIFUL game, I totally loved it, I just couldn't adapt so well to the controls because there are so many buttons, but even so the experience of playing was very good. Congratulations on the game❤️

Very challenging but fairly designed. Bosses telegraph well, and I think they have just the right amount of health. I had some troubles with the controls but luckily you had rebinding options! Still fat-fingered a lot tho and died a bunch haha, kinda wish it had quick restarts, but that's a small thing. Great entry, good work!

Good sidescroller for playtime for a weekend. I do not like pixel art, but i liked these animations and designs. Music is very catchy.

Oh man what a game. Normally I play jam games pretty quick to get to as many as possible but I easily spent about an hour with this one. Beautiful art, music and boss designs were epic. So much replayability too. I like how some characters are more difficult to play than others, adds a level of choosing your difficulty in a way. Awesome game.

It's incredible! I liked the arts, they are colorful and lively. The boss designs are great too, their attacks are fair yet challenging too. And the UI is very cool, especially the boss attacks indicator on the top right, and the health bar reminds me of Kingdom Hearts too! 

And I think maybe it will be good if player can retry the current boss if player is defeated. Overall a very complete and polished game, well done!

Beautiful pixelwork, animations, backgrounds. Really surprising amount of bosses and content here, so cool. I really liked how well everything was telegraphed. Though that red indicator would sometimes blend into the background in the final boss stage, but it wasn't the end of the world. I also think the player's hurtbox could be a bit smaller to make micrododging a bit more viable. That hamster boss was really funny, and the game was enjoyable from start to finish. I loved the music as well. I think the flexibility and support for different playstyles is very nice, I absolutely loved that aspect of the game.

Great game!

I like the controls and the fact that the UI react to controller.

My main issue are the visuals. So many times the projectiles that we have to dodge, do not contrast enough from the background, so its difficult to see them.

Also i feel like there should be the ability to crunch or something like this, since I hate when the boss shot the projectile impossible to jump over without platform, but still low enought to register hit.


But this is a great game and it looks loke something that can sell on steam etc.

I mean just an amazing game. All the art, sound effects and music are just executed incredibly well. Loved all of the character design for both the characters you play as and the bosses, and really cool story for the game!

Only gripe i  that I wish the game just ended instead of there being that "encore" mechanic, just makes defeating the final boss anticlimactic (at least for me, from what I've seen other people seem to like it)

But yeah, other than that, insanely good game! No idea how all of this is possible in just a month

I love the fact that there is always somethign that spins in the game, but that's not always the same thing! Well done!
