Game's Take on the Theme
Spinning roulette gun randonly picks what type of gun you're shooting. Bossfight phases and attacks incorporate spinning

Did your team make the majority of the art and music during the jam?
All of the music is original. All of the bosses are original too and most of the level design, the only exception is in the piggy bossfight arena where the walls, floor and a few props come from synty packs. Everything else is from us.

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

I really like the shooter type of game you made here, it looks quite awesome and profesionnal look really, I would say maybe make some areas more illuminated but aside from this all is cool and the action feels great, I rate graphics and mechanics on top but all is great, also, if you have time, please rate my game, thanks!!

Hi There!

I see there are still some games left on the "less rated projects" list.

I would really appreciate it!

Have a nice day / evening!

Ps.: your game worth much more ratings! Very good visual style! Creative idea!

As a fan of movement shooters such as ultra kill, quake, and apex legends this game caught my eye.

I really wanted to like this game but I was having so many issues running the game as well as crashes. The game would freeze seemingly random when shooting bullets, when I finally reached the end of the first boss, my game crashed on my last rocket that would've defeated him. Such a bummer because I had felt like I had just gotten the hang of things!

From what I did experience though, I enjoyed fighting on tight ropes, this was a new experience for me and it forced me to fight the clown slower and a bit more methodically vs frantically jumping around and risking taking damage by falling to the bottom. I would've loved to see more interesting ways to use the tight ropes to gain height or even have the boss cut ropes.

As for the spinning mechanic I thought it was fine, the animation of spinning the wheel was really well done and having the variety of "bullets" to use kept things fresh. I wish there were more interesting strategies to use with each bullet, I felt like I could use all of them at the same range and sorta get the same amount of damage done.

Other than the crashes I was having, the game was fun to learn! Would love to see you explore more player movement options with what you have already.

As a previous comment said, I did also notice a fair bit of slow-down with the rockets. Nothing to take away from gameplay, but one of very few issues to be noted, like with the game crashing on me once against Nessie and after finish Piggy. 

Overall, a really fun game with a novel concept I haven't seen in a while that I could easily see being expanded and played around with in so many ways to create a great game.

The variety of boss fighting gimmicks was also a fun change of pace compared to most FPS games released nowadays, alongside their environmental mechanics to keep you focused on not just your enemy.

Music is also really good, catch and reflects the tempo of the situation your in.

An easy must-play of this jam, would definitely recommend, keep it up, Bongwater. :)

A super cool idea for a boss fight on ropes! I've never seen anything like this before. The roulette mechanic for shooting styles isn’t new, but it’s well-executed (though I did notice some slowdown with the "rockets"—nothing critical). The visuals, music, and overall gameplay feel are great—it’s a really enjoyable experience. Awesome work!

This game is actually great!

The gunplay is dynamic, the reloading animation is really satisfying, the music and visuals are cohesive and the controls are simple but effective!

But in my opinion placing the jester as the first boss isn't.. great: the other two bosses mesh really well with the gunplay, the dash mechanic and the healing system but the jester can 2-shot you, is impossible to hit with the shotgun or smg, and the platforming is really difficult to learn and he crashed the game 3 times.

Overall great game!
