Game's Take on the Theme
The Bosses are all bound to a mechanism that spins arms. These arms, while spinning, create a pattern for the motion of the boss.

Yes

nice game, funny sfx and a cute aesthetic, feels a bit awkward to play on mouse, and the collision seems to bug quite frequently but overall a good game

So I played the Webbuild and I really like the esthetics. Quite some charming graphics and the sounds are hilarious :)

I found the small tutorial quite nice even tho the “next” button wasn’t that obvious but one could find it.

The game itself was rather easy as the Bosses seem to only walk in circles around the center thus, you can just move behind them and “kill” the Boss. So that was a little underwhelming but I find the visuals of the Bosses and animations quite nice. I would suggest to give the Bosses more variety in movement and attacks and you have a quite nice and charming mobile game at your hands!

Job well done!

Come check out my duck game.

Adorable game! Art stands out with the color scheming and the controls were easy to pickup. If there were music it would be an even better game to jam out to while learning the boss patterns. Congrats on the game!

really creative game. I liked the simple controls and flinging the character around. the sfx were also really funny!

Such a cute and cozy atmosphere! I like the art and funny sfx! For some reason the controls were sometimes unresponsive to my input, but otherwise it's perfect! Good work!

This game is simply adorable!
The drawings are sublime, the little noises are too cute and the general atmosphere of the game is really cool!
In the midst of all the other games that require an enormous amount of dexterity and concentration, this game feels really good!

Bravo ♥

Idea implementation is great.

Interesting game, I like the idea of bosses having a weak spot, each of which with a great and unique boss design that I enjoyed. Good job on the game.

This was a charming game!  Solid use of colour for communication on weak points and danger.  I also love the mouth sounds haha.  Nice work!

Fun chill game, looks great, cute sound effects. some light background music would go a long way but otherwise really nice.

I think the art in this game is really charming. The art style is pretty, the color direction is really clear which I always have problem with in my own work, and the gameplay is really relaxing.
This game could have been even better if it had some really relaxing music in the background and better mouse controls. I understand that the game is much better mobile and it wont really affect my controls rating but it would have been a nice little addition.
Good Game!

Love the title!

The art style is great the sound effects funny and using a spirograph type of movement for the bosses is definatly unique!

This is one of the cases that prove that often the simplest game loops can be the most addictive ones.

Great job!

My personal whishlist:

  • Background/Ambient sound
  • Better mouse support
  • Fullscreen button (you can still edit the page to add one)
  • Keep the funny sfx!

Thank you for making a cute simple game. I think others have said but there is a lot of serious intense games, so something to change up the pace was nice!

I very much appreciate how simple and to the point the game is in its design. Very easy to get into, extremely visually clear, and a generally relaxing play. After playing so many high octane boss rushes, it's very nice to find a more relaxing game in this roster of submissions. Great job!

The first mobile game jam I ever played, and this did not let me down!

It is simple, yet super fun! I liked how smooth the movement is, for me personally I don't think it was an issue whatsoever! I tried on my phone, so maybe thats why..

It surely need more attention, the art is so cute! Well done!
