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

Wow really loved the art style and theme of this game! The concept of making a 3D tower but being actual 2D and have to spin to dodge and attack the bosses was a very clever idea! Really well done! I also loved the music of this game, really arcady, loved it! Congrats! <3
Another game that deserves to win, the spinning around the arena mechanic was a thing I wanted to put in one of the bosses. we had to cut it out due to not knowing how to implement it in time, we wanted to do something like the first Klonoa boss for that one.
I love that the first boss has a touch hitbox because it's the way he attacks being melee and stuff, but the penguin doesn't have one, its a small thing but shows the thought that went into the game design, there are tons of things that I can describe that makes this game very good but if I listed I would stay here for a while.
a problem I found was when you are going in a direction and just tap the other direction the player will continue facing that way, making running then attacking a bit awkward at times, and the penguin fire seems to have a bigger hitbox than one would think.
great art, music and sounds!
rooting for you guys! good luck!
Really cool game, i like that style of 2D with 3D effect, art is coo, nice game!
Really cool take on the theme! Big fan of the "spinning" background, really makes us feel like we are spinning around a tower and adds a lot to it - really enjoyed that. The controls are simple yet have a nice mastery curve, which is super sweet.
Really really solid game, the boss fights are super fun and the whole experience was awesome!
I struggled a bit with the keyboard controls but it is incredibly clear that this game succeeds on all fronts and I am astonished I didn't see it until now! 4-5 stars across the board except for controls as I didn't vibe with them. Great work!!
I like a lot the feel of classic arcade, reminds me to SkyBlazer, really well made, I find your pixel art really awesome, I rate graphics, control fun and music the most but all is greta really, also, if you have some time, please, rate my game too, thanks!!!
This game is really fun to play! Loved the bosses, and especially loved all the graphics and effects in you game! IT's really polished!
(P.S. If you're willing to I'd love it if you gave some feedback on my game! this is my first ever game jam and I'd love to see where I can improve for the future!)
I adore creative uses of perspective in games, anything that can give me that Fezlike experience is just an instant gold star in my books, and this game did that absolutely flawlessly. The use of perspective with the rotating arena was used to such an awesome effect in literally every single boss fight, and that kept the game consistently engaging despite the very retro-inspired difficulty. Everything here is just so clean and responsive, and the bosses are designed immaculately
