Really fun and engaging game. The art and character designs are really well done. Great game. Loved it !
Really cool. Visual, groom sounds and nice controls.
Loved the art style! The circus master sprite looks incredible and I love how he bows, the animations and personality looks spot on! really well done! Also I loved the plot twist at the end, I did something similar with mine. Gameplay wise was pretty good too, the movement of the character was pretty snappy and good, tho some bosses patterns were hard to get used to from the start until you die a couple of times, but its a pretty good game, Congrats! :D
Really amazing art! the boss design also feels well thought out and the combat feels good especially the chain attacks. Would have liked dodging the boss attacks to be a bit easier but the difficulty overall felt pretty good. Congratulations!
Pixel art is fabulous! And overall, the mood polish is really nice!
I guess you've been inspired by the winner of the last game jam. I liked the art style and music. Controls are well performed. Gameplay has only one flaw - dash does not save you from damage, it's very strange.
Finally, an action-platformer that I managed to beat! I like how creative the bosses are and how the fights are so well telegraphed. The character design is very cool too! Well done!
Awesome game! One of my favorites!
I love how much effort was put into making the game feel cohesive—it truly feels deep in terms of its systems. The visual style is also very appealing, largely thanks to excellent direction—how the progression, scenes, and bosses are structured is incredibly well-executed! It's impressive that you managed to create something like this in such a short time. Great job!
+And the music is absolutely fantastic!))
The visual aesthetics are beautiful. Such a good game. Well done!
One of my favorites. Really good work. Good look!!
That is so kind, Thank you!
Nice music and art. Combat is pretty fun. The invincibility frame is either didn't exist or not enough, i think. Overall it's a good game. Good work!
Thank you for the kind words, invincibility frames do not exist, I decided to go for a "dash around the boss" approach which I think should have been explained better.
I will work on it, Thank you for the review.
Pretty solid game. If you put some particles in the game it would be a cherry on the top! The game feels nice control wise but some attacks just have little no dodge window, on the last boss you cannot tell what attack he is gonna do with that crystal, all looks the same?
Also like the twist of the last boss being the guy from the wheel room, very cool foreshadowing.
The first boss has an undodgable attack ??? Which i found quite annoying.
Other than that, the game is really good :D
Thank you for the feedback, Very valid points well.
Thank you for playing!
Wow!! You did it!! Nice art and music, and the spin with buffs and debuffs it is a good mechanic for playing it multiple times.
Thank you, I am glad you liked it!
the animations are really good! loved the idea, also would love if the controls were a bit more precise when moving, but very fun to play
Thank you very much, I am pleased to hear the animation compliment! I'm glad you enjoyed the game.
I really liked it, very fun
Thank you<3
Game and the visuals seems really nice however the controls need polishing.
Thank you for the feedback.
Excellent FULL STARS AND COLLECTED
Thank you so much!
game is really fun in every aspect (especially the visuals!) although the controls feel a bit tight
Thanks for your comment! The game has control buttons set up to make it more convenient for each player.
The animations and character art were very clean and detailed! It's impressive how much you managed to do in the given time frame! The composer also managed to squeeze a lot out of their guitars, the score felt very cohesive and glued together, but also very dynamic. The game was fun and polished; Well done!
Thanks for your comment! It's very nice to hear that
Thank you!
