Flipping the stage seems very creative and cool when it comes to planning how to dodge and damage the boss.

I really liked the art, the color is great! Just a minor note is that I think that when damaging the boss, there could be a little more visual or audio feedback to highlight the hit.

Very good use of the theme!

Something funny that happened to me was beating the boss at the same time he killed me.  10/10 xD

Developer(+1)

I'm very glad you like it!! :D
I think we could have done a better jog with the camera and shown the intended gameplay is to fall, also I don't have much experience in scripting telegraphed attacks for bosses, I 100% agree with you on that
I'll study to learn more about it for the next project!!
that issue of killing the Boss and dying at the same time happened to me as well hahaha I didn't patch bc I thought it was funny hahaha
at least we're very happy with the overall result!! Thank you so much!!

Cool use of the theme! The art is super cool. I was able to cheese the first boss by putting some blocks between us and shooting it lol

Developer

Thank you so much, I'm very glad you like it!! :D
LOL I didn't know you could do that haha
that's the awesome part of having other people playing your game ahaha
at least we're very happy with the overall result!! Thank you!!

Too many traps. Ughhh.... skill issue. I guess. But that's a nice game, I like the visuals.

Developer

Thank you so much, I'm very glad you like it!! :D
I think I went a bit too hard on the balance, sorry for that
but it was a bit of a headache for us to debug the map rotation, I took us way longer than expected
at least we're very happy with the overall result!!

Nice mechanic and I like the idea of turning the world around and my humble suggestion is that to place the camera a little distant because it's kind of hard to track down where you're falling. This also gives a space for the player to figure that out. Good job.

Developer

The level spinning mechanic is well implemented, and made me have to think about how to escape the boss. I like that you have to take a risk by blindly falling to gain more speed instead of walking normally on the floor (but being slower).

Really cool concept and execution. A lot of things in the game work well together.
Some more variety in how the player attacks bosses would be cool, but I also like how the simple weapon allows for more focus on running away from the first 2 bosses. especially once I learned I can just hold to shoot.

Developer

Thank you so much, I'm glad you like it!! :D
yeah the  first plan was to use some trap on the map to damage the bosses but it took way longer than expected to debug everything related to the map rotation, so we ended up using just the easier option hahaha
Thank you so much for the feedback!

Really good game, very funny and challenging experiencie, direct to mi favorite list.

- Nice art and environment design! Felt consistent, polished, and well put together
- Rotating the map is a fun mechanic, gave the fights a more frenetic feel as you have to watch where you're going and think ahead a bit more
- Would have liked the camera to lead the player a bit more so you have a better indicator of any dangers in the way, found myself falling into obstacles a lot with little warning
- Would be interesting if you could damage the first or 2nd boss (when the shield is down) by kiting them into the hazards the player has to navigate over
- It's been said in other comments but +1 for adding a mini-map to make the navigation a bit more focused

Great job!

Developer

Thank you so much, I'm glad you like it!! :D
and thank you for your feedback!! I agree on all points!
it was our first time trying out this mechanic of rotating the map so it took way more time to fix bugs than anticipated hahaha
but all very valid points of improvement! thank you!

This game is actually pretty good, need some getting used to and sfx needs more love, but ey its good! Goodjob!

Developer

Thank you so much, I'm glad you like it!! :D
it was my first time messing with SFX, could please give more details of what could have been better??
I really want to know more about this, thanks for the feedback!!

Art design and lighting are very good. Navigating is a little tricky, maybe that was intended, but yeah, i liked that

Developer

Thank you so much, I'm glad you like it!! :D
Yes i think I went a bit overboard with the traps on the map hahaha

Submitted(+2)

Interesting idea. The game mechanics, lighting and others stuff r really admiring. but a bit too hard to survive.

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much, I'm glad you like it!! :D
I'm sorry it was a bit on the hard side haha I'll do a better jog at balancing next project!!

Amazing concept! I liked the art and music, the controls and movements are very good. But I found the navigation could be more clear. Great work overall!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much, I'm glad you like it!! :D
i loved your game!! incredible art style!!

Submitted(+2)

Cool idea! Very fascinating game, a bit hard to navigate with the controls. I like what you were going for. Good work!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much, I'm glad you like it!! :D
Yeah, I agree we could shave off somethings there to make it more intuitive, unfortunately it took a lot longer to adjust the core mechanic of rotating the world at will that we had to rush some things at the end haha
But we are happy with the result, it was a big learning project for us!

Submitted(+2)

An interesting game, rather than having some weapon you spin, you instead spin the level.

However due to the nature of the game, most of it feels like blind falling, you can't really aim for the health pickups or anything as there's little to no time to react before you fall past.

This isn't necessarily bad but it feels like you have little control. Maybe some form of mini-map with coloured dots for pickups and a simplified layout of the map would help.

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much, I'm glad you like it!! :D
Yeah, we had plans for a minimap from the beginning but we were having some frame-drop issues, and the rotation mechanic was a bit of a nightmare to make it work without breaking other stuff.  Maybe in the future with more experience, we can create this without having optimization issues.

but we are happy with the overall result, at least it is entertaining enough!!

Submitted(+2)

Very true, I actually have some experience doing a world rotation type mechanic myself in one of my previous jams; so I understand the limitations and complications considering the time constraints. In the game I had made back then, getting my minimap working with the world rotation took some work, and this was just a basic metroidvania-style map with very little detail.

But regardless, its still a decent game and I'm sure its been a good learning experience for you and your team.

Developer

yeah, we found out only now that our minimap was not working properly back then due to an interaction with the URP that made the minimap use the Pos Processing effects twice on the whole level! hahaha
that is why our frame rate went bogus and we couldn't solve it
Thank you very much for your insights!

Submitted(+2)

Really cool and engaging idea! I did find that due to not knowing what I was falling into, when I fell/spun the environment I'd often fall into obstacles that I didn't know would be there. I think it'd be worth experimenting stripping down the level design into a simple square arena, and seeing how the game feels from there. I definitely understand the idea behind why the level design is so elaborate because it does allow for more skill expression, but sometimes as designers we can get in our own heads in terms of just adding and adding because we just get so used to the skeletons of our games.

Developer

Thank you so much, I'm glad you like it!! :D
Yeah, we had plans for a minimap from the beginning but we were having some frame-drop issues, and the rotation mechanic was a bit of a nightmare to make it work without breaking other stuff. But the camera should be a bit farther away to give more visibility, I 100% agree on that, and maybe with fewer traps on the way.  Unfortunately, creating the game mechanics took longer than expected, and I did not have much time to balance it properly, since I was already used to the map and gameplay.

But we are happy with the overall result, at least it is entertaining enough!!

A very good concept, the boss fight through escaping rotating "mazes" feels quite fresh. The visuals, sounds, and music are top-notch. As for suggestions: I'll repeat the point that there's an issue with moving and falling into the unknown—a mini-map would really help with that. But even so, the game entertained me a lot! Great work!

Cool Concept. I wasn't able to beat the entire game at this time however I will return to it. I tried to start with the third boss and quickly realized that wouldn't work lmao,  I got past the first two bosses and really liked the spinning the map mechanic as well as the difficulty. the map is a bit confusing though as its quite big so I would suggest a minimap. Really good job though! 

Developer

Thank you so much, I'm glad you like it!! :D
yeah the 3rd boss is a little steep to begin with hahaha But I'm glad you liked it!! we are very happy that people were engaged enough to try a couple of times to beat each boss!!

Submitted(+2)

Very cool concept, the mechanic has a high skill ceiling and the concept can be expanded to great lenghts.

The maps are really confusing, everything looks the same and a minimap would be of huge help. I think the bosses are a little bit too fast. You cannot escape them if they see you which is kind of annoying.

Overall very nice game!

Developer

Thank you so much, I'm glad you like it!! :D
I agree with you, the speed of falling is faster than just running but there is no indication of that anywhere in the game
The main idea is to fall and use the Spin mechanic to keep falling, but it lacks some visual feedback for the player
But thank you for the feedback!!

AMAZING!!

Developer

Thank you so much, I'm glad you like it!! :D
