Game's Take on the Theme
You move by spinning around a tower. Additionally, you also fight using a yoyo, so the theme's been applied twice technically :D
Did your team make the majority of the art and music during the jam?
Yes

This has an insane amount of polish?? Everything was so well put together it's insane. The 3D illusion looks amazing too.
I will say that the only thing I wasn't particularly a fan of was that you stop in mid air when you attack. I'm sure that's a detail you've gone back and forth with a lot, but for me personally I find that it interrupts my flow. I think that extra little hop could be reserved for a little mid air hop when you press space while off the ground?
Either way, this was extremely well done. Be proud of this. Music and sound effects are professionally done too. Great stuff
Cool game
Great job, good use of spin. Perspective is not as bad as i thought it would be with the way things rotate which is impressive for a 2d game!
Seriously amazing game. Extremely polished, super itneresting mechanic, simple and intuitive controls, beautiful art and music. 10/10 nice job this is so fun
Very cool spinning mechanic! Everything feels polished and I like that the bosses drop health sometimes to ease difficulty. There were some times where say I was attacking to the right, then i click left, the character moves left, and i click attack but the attack was still towards the right. The last boss fireball attack was also a bit finnicky. Overall, a well made game.
Very neat game! I really like how the whole game is about moving around some kind of tower which really opened up room for very cool boss mechanics. There is a significant amount of challenge that goes into this game, but it still feels extremely fair, especially with hearts dropping that allow you to restore health during battle. Additionally, the game looks great and polished.
SELL THIS GAME, I BEG YOU DEVELOP THIS MORE AND SELL THIS FUCKING GAME
LOVE IT
Very good game, liked it all
I'm always impressed by the use of 3D illusion in 2D space in games, I'm really digging this!
What a great game! I loved everything—the boss design, the aesthetics, the use of the theme, and the music is absolutely amazing, 10/10. Except for the fact that the game crashed while I was fighting the third boss, right when it seemed like it was starting a different attack from the first two. I couldn’t finish it because of that, but I’ll definitely give it another shot later. Beautiful game!
Whoops haven't had anyone crash there yet I don't think! I'll try to get that fixed for a post-jam version. Thanks for letting me know and I'm glad you liked it!
This is the first game that got 5 stars in 5 out of the 6 categories. Just amazing. The spinning tower was jarring at first but got used to it pretty quickly. This heavily reminded of fez.
FULL STARS SPINNER
Seriously one of the best entries here, so technically impressive with the faux 3d spinning and the gameplay felt so good, my only wish is that there were combo attacks and more in depth boss movesets.
Thanks for playing! Combo attacks were actually something that I had planned initially for the game, but that unfortunately had to be cut due to time restrictions (i made both the art and the code by myself). Boss attacks are somewhat simple mainly because a lot of people were already struggling with the difficulty of the game, so I decided not to overcomplicate things for now.
I will say however that I'd like to add both things if I ever continue to develop this game after the jam, so thanks for the feedback!
I really liked the application of the “spin” theme. Extremely fun game. Congratulations on the game!
This is amongst the best ones I've played. Everything is smooth and polished, the animations are great, the art is cute, the controls are responsive and easy to learn, the theme is well executed. I haven't been able to beat the second boss yet, but from what I've seen, this game is 10/10, 5 star on everything.
So so good. Everything is fantastic. I love the bosses, the music, the animations, the spritework, everything. The perspective mechanic was so much fun to mess around with. Really well done. The music is incredible too
This is astounding. The bosses, the visuals, the soundtrack, the feeling... everything.
Incredible game. I can't even fathom the math-magical secrets that goes into the spinning
This game is unbelievably good. Amazing pixel art and very cute aesthetic. It looks like a SNES title, gameplay just feels tight. It could be expanded into something I would pay money for to play. Super professional!
