Game's Take on the Theme
You are a wheel. That spins. And builds up spin speed. Everything spins.The only boss in the game also spins to kill you. Other bosses were going to spin to kill you as well. Fun fact this was also for the Pirate Software Jam and incorporated their theme of "You are the weapon" as well.
Did your team make the majority of the art and music during the jam?
I made the all of the art, coded, and there's no music/sfx because I ran out of time... (I like to suffer creatively infinitely)

I love wheel kirby the most of all kirbies and often dream of becoming a wheel
As a experience of being a wheel, building up speed and bouncing off walls goes pretty hard, controlling your speed and moving around is challenging, but what one would expect from being a wheel.
Would be a fun boss rush game if it used that to its strengths, and the boss was the stage itself, and you had to bounce and break through walls to damage it. You want to buildup speed, but some platforming is so exact (not just a pixel perfect way, your movement and momentum can send you the wrong place) that you end up having to stop and properly make the right jump to get through, which feels against what it stands for.
There's spinning, but there's arguably no boss rushing, which is sad. As a "You Are The Weapon" concept, I don't know how I feel towards it. If it were a yo-yo, I'd consider it a weapon wheel, but as a wheel in search of its car parts, I don't dig it very much.
I really was hoping to add more bosses to make it boss rushy, like there was gonna be a car axle boss, and other wheels as a boss... but I didn't have time to make anything past the first boss TwT
good concept but unfinished, sometimes car gets knocked back towards your direction and you basically get screwed
