Game's Take on the Theme
Using a yoyo as a weapon, you need to spin it so you have strenght enough to launch it to reach places or hit the boss.

Did your team make the majority of the art and music during the jam?
Yes, most of the music and art were created by the team.

If not, please link to any asset packs or resources used here.

Rated! ;) Great game, great art!
Reminds me of NES Street Fighter 2010 Boss Fights.

Thank you if you rate my game as well.
All the best, keep it up!

Nice game! I really enjoyed the main attack mechanic of spinning the yoyo around! Had to get used to winding it up and throwing it but after awhile it was rather easy to use. There were some minor gripes I had like having to press S again to recall the yoyo and the Yoyo wind up not being too clear on how much I've been holding it but aside from that the gameplay and bosses were pretty well done!

Super unique and enjoyable, and the pixel art is gorgeous for the most part! The attack mechanics took a while to get used to, but they're super fun, and I appreciate the unique boss patterns that allow you to use it to grapple things. I would have preferred if a whiffed attack returned to you automatically rather than requiring an additional S press, but it's a minor thing. The i-frames (or almost entire lack thereof) make it VERY punishing to miss any mechanic, although that's not all bad, lol.

If you don't mind and have the time, consider checking our game out too!

Very nice art and I like the arm equipping mechanic, very unique! I also like the puzzle elements to the boss fights, where you have to figure out how to avoid certain attacks. Good game!

Spin theme done so well!!! You went full in on that yoyo I loved that, even the idle animation - the telegraphs are timed nicely. THIS GAME HAS WEIGHT. Sound effects and the music are on point. My favorite thing is the choice of colors. THE COLORS IN THIS GAME ARE KILLING ME

Very creative use of the theme! I really liked the soundtrack and the controls. The mechanic of hanging and spinning the yo-yo is fun. The second fight took me a few tries to understand what I had to do, but still—great game!

The yoyo is a great idea that I would love to see explored further, and the grapple to avoid attacks is a unique idea in the jam. My favorite part is the pixel art and the trail effect from the first boss's dash - that was very nice. Keep it up - a lot of ideas here will have potential when brought to fruition.

Really nice game!

Loved the arms mechanich and the yoyos!

Coudn't beat the boss tho, I got the boss to 0 hp and it just kept fighting!

The physics and rope mechanics are really good and I loved the integration  of them in the bossfight!

Really cute artstyle and good sound effect and music!

Thanks! the healthbar currently has some problems so you could have let him with 1 hp or something lol, for the second boss you have to actually do something when she gets to 0hp!
