Cool game! The idea isn't new, but the execution is excellent—visuals, music, and gameplay are all well done! Excellent work!
Thank you a lot!
You got inspired by BeyBlade, me too!!! I also made a game inspired by BeyBlade, yours is really well made, I like the visuals and everything really, I rate graphics, fun, control and music on top but all is great really, also, if you have some time, please, rate my game too, thanks!!!!
Thanks a lot for the feedback!
I played this game before the rate week start ! I'm glad that I found it again, and saw the last polish and improves ! The game feel good to play and deliver fun even if i'm not that much in spinning top games. Well done.
Thanks a lot! This comment made my day hahaha
Great game! I really enjoyed taking refuge in the healing zones and having the bosses stop attacking me :D
Thank you for the feedback!
Yes!! Nice game! I enjoyed it a lot! My only suggestion is to rethink how to gain speed. Instead of E-Q for the quick stop, it would be nice if it worked directional (pressing the opposite direction of the one your going to decrease speed). I think it would feel better and landing on heal spots would be easier and smoother. And adding some kind of Boost or Turbo or something while holding a key to accelerate faster. Anyway, great work!! :)
Thanks a lot for the feedback! Those are some good ideas, if I don't come back to this game I'll surely be using them in future projects! :D
Music's awesome, and sprites are nice. For the gameplay, I would liked to see more ways to push the bosses other then bumping into them.
Thank you a lot for the feedback!
Fun spinning top game ! Boss fight is hard cause I always need to go back on healing areas, I think there is some room to improve here, keep going !
Thanks a lot for the feedback!
Great use of theme! The music and graphics are nice, movement is a little hard for me I feel like if I was able to hold or release a button to control the speed it would have been a little easier, but boss fights aren't meant to be easy xD. Great Job!! ദ്ദി( ˆᵕ ˆ )
Ooooh how did I not think of holding the button! Thanks, I really appreciate the feedback!
the concept and visuals are pretty good and the sound design is clear. the boss design and mechanics could use some work though, like having a more dynamic way to restore or retain spin (example: reworking healing pads into healing walls that you clash with to restore spin) and increasing boss recoil so it's easier to ram boss into stage hazards
Thank you, I really appreciate you taking the time to share feedback!
Overall a fitting game for a Spin themed game, great graphics, he controls were a bit on the hard side, could not kill the boss, but good basis for improvement! :)
Thank you! Surely learned a great lot out of this first run, I really appreciate all the feedback!
Cool art. gameplay quite fun. the stay still while healing is not a bad idea, but constantly doing it reduce the fun at one point. for me at least. Still, nice work!
Thank you! Yeah I absolutely agree. Good lesson though!
An obvious idea for the topic of spin. I really like the idea, but controlling the Beyblades is insanely difficult. Have I missed something?
Looking back at it I realize the controls need a rework. It initially had a few more speed stages which gave you finer control, but thought it's complicating it too much. I found the game felt much better on a controller, even for me who I knew how it was supposed to be played haha. Thank you for taking your time and trying it!
beyblade
It would have been even closer to Beyblade if I didn't fail to make some of the power-ups I meant to do!
Pretty cool game, love the cover art. The way the game looks is very nice and I enjoyed playing it. I could not figure out how to beat the bosses though and I wasnt willing to wittle them down for a long time while healing.
Thank you! I did have a feeling the loop of boinking your head into the boss then sitting still to heal might not be the best. If I ever revisit this I need to think of a system that does not imply mutual damaging.
