Very, very good game! The idea of attacking by moving around the boss is simple yet effective. Usually in a bullet hell game, I would always be either focusing on attacking or dodging, and I am pretty bad at multi-tasking, so this game really felt like it had the best of both worlds. All of the bosses had very interesting attacks and always felt fair and balanced. Additionally, the game looks extremely good and polished. Good job on this!

Really cool game. The visuals, sounds the menu and the game mechanics and bosses are done quite well! Clever use of the spin mechanic I must say! And it is really hard, which is great.

So all in all very cool game! When steam?

Job very well done!

This game is a lot of fun. The mechanic of rotating the enemy bullets to dodge them being tied to your rate of fire is genius and a great take on the theme for the jam. It's also something I've never seen in an STG before! The game only took a few minutes to play completely, but it had a lot going on that was interesting regarding the central mechanic. This rules. 

I love the art style too. Very clean pixel graphics with a fun palette. The mixed drinks theme was also great for the art style. 

The soundtrack is a lot of fun too. I'm easy to please with break beat oriented music, but the soundtrack still sticks out quite a bit in that regard.

I'm not sure what your plans are, but I'd love to see more from this game. It's very cool what you've accomplished in a month. Definitely throwing this in my library rotation. 

Great work!

A really clean game, with retro pixel art that's a pleasure to play, and very well-balanced bosses. It's also nice to play a game that's demanding without being too hard :)

Bravo !

I think the game have so much to improve

the commands are kind awkward, the art is OK. but it looks so simple

I give a solid 3/5

This game is awesome, this retro gaming aesthetic is perfect. Very fun to play.

Really nice game that truly put in the spin of the jam.

Honestly tying movement and shooting to rotating the screen instead of the character is really clever and starts to feel really good once you get used to it. At first the game was so alien to me that it repelled me but after a few tries I began to get the spin and started beating the bosses on my first attempts.

So overall a really good submission.

And some advice for future players, give it some attempts before judging the game, I was pleasantly surprised when I gave it the chance.

10/10!

rated 5 stars across the board! exilent work! if I was to nitpick id say id wish the stage background also rotated but I can completely understand why you didn't opt to do that.

such a clever use of the theme and controls, making the attack and dodge mechanics the same controls creates a challenging but fun experience. great game! music is a vibe too

I have no words for this game really, is amazing.

Mates, this is a really nice bullet hell experience—clean design and great tunes. Kudos!

Submitted

Really nice retro asthetic!

honestly, one of the best games I've seen so far in this jam, everything that happens in the game is very well executed and the difficulty of the gameplay is also perfect

Submitted

Amazing game, and incredible take on the theme. Genuinely, the "Spinning" aspect of this game is so well executed, I was immediately drawn in. Great job!
