I’ve seen this game from the very beginning, it’s fantastic, and I don’t understand why it only has this many ratings, I really like it!
Rated! ;)
Thank you, if you check out and rate mine as well!
All the best! ;)

Developer

Thank you so much! I'll play and rate your game right now!

This is a really tough game, but a well made one!  I love the playable tutorial and you have great game feel on taking damage!  Play Wilhelm Scream made me laugh a bit.

One piece of criticism I have is you can take a lot of damage if you get caught in a corner while the arena is spinning.  It killed me quite a few times on the second boss and I'm not sure if there's a good way to get out of it.

Awesome job!

Thanks for the positive comment! The damage thing is a slight issue, but we didn't have enough time to get the level design to be completely perfect

Great game! I really loved the visuals, and especially the music—the music is simply amazing! The idea is also very good, and most importantly, it's executed in a really fun way. Fantastic work!

Thank you so much! But we didn't make the music, it's called Corrupted Circuitry and is by JDSherbet

I assume the difficulty curve was adjusted to the point where it wouldn't impact the gaming experience? Even though it was very challenging, I had a great time playing the game! I really like the overall aesthetic and the attention to detail. I didn't manage to finish it, though, but I’ll definitely come back to it!

Thanks for the feedback!

Interesting concept, reminded me of the original Sonic's diamond stages.

It was strange to see my character sliding from and through platforms as the arena rotates. Maybe it would be better to rotate everything around the character position to avoid that effect, and to not include a jump-through-platform mechanic at all?

But that was a fun experience ¦3

I love all these glowing effects, they work great with simplified visuals highlighting all the important things.

Mkay, thanks for the feedback! We'll see what we can do

Minimalistic aesthetics but really fitting, gameplay is fun and I like what you did overal, I rate mechanics over the rest but all is cool, also if you can please rate my game too, thanks!!

Developer(+1)

Will do when I get the chance! Thanks for the feedback!

Simple but fun take on the theme. Maybe it's just me but the bosses' spinning shields end up being more annoying than challenging, they kinda feel a bit unnecessary the spinning area is already in line with the theme.

Ok, we'll have a look into it after the jam is over. Thabks for the feedback!

Great game! Love the interpretation of the theme with the whole scenario spinning. I wish the difficulty curve was a little higher but it's great anyway. Congratulations! 🌻❤

Developer(+1)

Thank you! The difficulty is something we've played around woth for quite a while, but hopefully future levels should fix it.

Dear god, this is fun and yet so cruel. The spikes just messed me up every time the level started to rotate. I like the artstyle and the music in this, good job!

Developer(+2)

Thanks, but we can't take credit for the music unfortunately- it's called Corrupted Circuitry and is by JDSherbet

Fun game, with definitely a lot of polish. I think the map spins just a bit too much, but it's still very enjoyable.

Ok, thank you!
