This is really polished! Congrats, love the music and the art, and the controls feel really good (on controller, I haven't tried the keyboard), nice work!

This game doesn't look like a game made for a gamejam but a prototype for something bigger. There is so many things that are great. So instead of trying to list them I will focus on my concerns. 

  • And my main concern its that it isn't a true boss rush in a classic way, where we have to beat all bosses, and death brings us to the beginning. Because we can jump from main menu from one boss to another, regain full.  
  • I feel like the bosses could be a bit harder. There is a great learning curve from one boss to the last, but I almost beat all bosses on first try. Maybe a difficulty level witch one hit to death mode I will have possibility to spend more time in this game.
  • Controls are great on gamepad, but on keyboard they are a bit difficult, requiring time to adapt

And again, great game. GJ!

Awesome game, I loved the art and the soundtrack, pretty great!

Another masterpiece with a nostalgic retro feel that took me back to my NES childhood era. It’s a bittersweet feeling - melancholic, yet comforting. Great use of the spin theme, and I love the variety of bosses. Music and SFX are on point, and the balance is just right - winning with your last HP makes it even more satisfying.

The cocktail recipes could stay on screen a bit longer to fully enjoy the intro sequence. Margarita, though completely destroyed me :D

Spin responsibly!

Your game was really fun! I ended up having a little trouble with the controls because the ground didn't move, but other than that your game is really good! I loved the art, minimalist but very pretty! The sound effects fit well! Congratulations on your game!

Just perfect!

I really appreciated the balancing on this. Perfectly in the middle of challenging but fair

are you guys from the Rivals of Aether? the art is pretty much the same

What a creative risk and reward system! Fantastic work! Maybe this might just be my lack in knowledge of alcoholic beverages but I wasn't quite sure how the theming of the bullets tied back to the drinks. Not to say it needed to be literal lemons and whatnot just something like "oh this drink is spicy so there's fireballs" or "this drink is sour so there's an electric theming". 

super original concept and great execution

I absolutely suck at this game, but the idea is super unique, and uses the theme perfectly (the spinning menu is also a nice touch). I found the game a little frustrating at times, but it was mainly because of skill issue, and I don't really have any recommendations to improve the game. Great job!

I like the idea of spinning the bosses' bullets. Good artistic direction !

Submitted

A clear contender for victory. Visualization at the highest level. The artist is a master of his craft. The impact is excellent. The variety of bosses is inspiring. I don't want to leave the game, it's so cool.

Okey, this is great the idea that you move around but you don't see directly is amazing

Submitted

What an amazing game! I absolutely loved how you can redirect bullets by rotating! The game's music and art are also beautiful. I really liked the death screen (and I saw it many times. Damn you Bloody Mary). Congratulations!

Submitted

Woah! This is super polished! Great work!
