Gira Gira Tower's itch.io pageGame'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

Extremely solid game here. I may have some issues with it, but it doesn't take away from the fact that you guys made something really great here
First off, the music and sound effects are excellent. Nothing else I can really say there. The visuals as well were also amazing, but that kinda goes without saying. The animations are all great and the bosses telegraph their attacks really well. I do love the effect that you guys created to make the spiral tower as well.
However, I do have a bit of an issue with this effect, and I'd say that this kinda applied a lot with the first boss. I got knocked back by quite a decent distance when he hit me. Now that by itself isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it caused quite a lot of disorientation because of the spiral effect. Maybe the amount you get knocked back could be reduced slightly ?
On that note, I'd say that every boss was pretty distinct and fun to fight. Part of me does wish that all of the bosses had maybe 1 or 2 more attacks that they cycled through, mostly because they all became somewhat monotonous at some point, but honestly that's more of a nitpick than anything else. Although I do think that the attack that the squid did when it spawned those bullets from those portals suffered in terms of visual clarity since it was a little hard to gauge the distance between the player and them ( probably just a skill issue though )
Honestly, I can nitpick all I want, but y'all have made something very polished, very lean, well paced and fun. I'd be surprised if you didn't win something
Being the best game I played in the jam, and the fact that it’s a blue rabbit :0, I loved the game, and besides being very balanced, it’s fun to play
really awesome, graphics, bosses and mechanics. really hard!!
This is possibly one of my favorite entries, the polish and mechanics are so well done! Love what you did with the shaders, absolutely stunning!
It's a perfect game, the art is beautiful, the SFX fits really well, the controls are great, and it's super fun. All the bosses are unique and have amazing designs. Congrats, amazing game!
Everything about this game is perfect, the art is so beautiful, the bosses are fun to play and the main character has really cool attacks.
I really had a lot of fun playing this game. Great Job. I loved the art style and the mechanics. One of the most polished games I had played.
I absolutely love this, the way the tower spins is so good and the music is superb, reminds me alot of shovel knight. My only thing is the controls, after the first boss i had a really hard time with the platforming outside the tower, i understood what i was supposed to do but for some reason i just couldn't do it, that might be on me though and I'll try again with a controller. What a great game, good job!
5 stars game. What a gem.
Woah, that rotation effect looks super neat, I loved the hollow knight like combat with pogos and the bosses felt really enjoyable to play, good job :)
So polished. Many interesting platformer game. Visually stunning.
Please rate my 2s platformer duck game, when you have some time.
Game has really good idea and great realization. Using perspective to know when to dodge is a great idea. Good job.
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
