Game's Take on the Theme
The setting itself revolves around the concept of spinning. The player has to spin to attack enemies. The enemies spin as well.

Beautiful art, good sounds, I really liked it, very fun and responsive
So if you can, consider checking out my little game too 👉 👈

The game is amazing. The art, music, sfx and I love the simple combat. Would've loved to skip the cutscenes tho. Also I think my game crashed when I clicked on reload. I was using safari as the game wouldn't load on firefox. Anyway great job.

Submitted

Amazing! The characters are engaging and the cutscenes are interesting. I want to play the complete version.

Submitted

Good music and story and the only thing that I would wish for this one to be able to move character faster around the enemy.

My team member recommended I check this one out and he was absolutely right. This game is amazing! I love how simple it is too. Just point and click, and move around. But it's crazy to me how well you guys were able to make such a simple mechanic so interesting. I could replay this game multiple times and still enjoy it.

The soundtrack was perfect too. The epic guitar and electronic synths perfectly fit the vibe of this game's aesthetic as well. I also loved the boss design.

The only criticisms I have are:
-Button to reveal full dialogue for people who want to read through quicker, but not skip it entirely.
-Spamming the attack on the boss at the end and face-tanking made the final boss fight end before they even had a chance to start attacking me between their phases. I'd spam hit them right when they opened their mouth and they'd change phases again before even having a chance to do some real damage to me.
-Also I love the fast pace of this game, but for some reason there's a several second wait for the pre-fight dialogue to appear on the blank computer-looking screens. Which really doesn't sound like much, but having that fast loading time would've made a big difference. At least for me personally.

Again, fantastic game! Easily one of my favs this jam.

Great entry! The game is very polished, and has a great take on the theme. Love the music and art--you've captured a vibe perfectly, and I love it. I'm not a big fan of action games, but I really enjoyed playing this.

Some quick feedback--movement feels very sluggish, and it doesn't mesh well with the fast-paced music. It wouldn't need a huge change--just a little more speed and responsiveness, and it would feel like a much higher-energy game.

Being able to speed up dialogue would be nice. I ended up skipping the cut scenes because they were taking too long to display, and the unskippable dialogue at the beginning of fights made retrying them a little tedious.

On the second boss, the crosshairs should stop moving once the boss has locked in on its target--it's too hard to tell if you're out of the danger zone.

Overall, though, this is a fantastic game, and all the more impressive for being made in a month. Amazing work!

This game is awesome and deserves more attention. The art is amazing, the sound design is on point, and the gameplay is super fun. It’s a really good and complete gameb! If I had to give some feedback, I’d say the final boss could be a bit harder. The game itself isn’t too difficult, and that’s totally fine, it’s a lot of fun as it is. But the final boss felt easier than the others, which was a little disappointing since it looks so cool and intimidating with its huge size. Still, it’s an awesome game, great submission!

Submitted

So beautiful! I loved everything about how your game is made, all the harmony with the styles, I had so much fun playing it! Congratulations on this incredible game!

Submitted

I loved the anime/mega man vibe it had, I loved the art!

The story is great and made me want to finish the game from the first moment.

I think the scenes and the music are what I enjoyed the most. The gameplay was the culmination of the fight for humanity!

I would like to see more of this game in the future! :D

A genuine 5 stars all across the board, I cannot express just how much I adored playing this game from start to finish. The aesthetic was perfect, the narrative was immediately gripping, the combat felt so clean, the difficulty was just right where it wasn't too easy but it wasn't too difficult to get discouraging. Learning the boss patterns felt so gratifying, and on my winning attempts for all 3 fights I was able to win without taking any damage because of how well the bosses were designed. My own single critique is that I would've appreciated the ability to skip the intros to fights just to get back in the groove quicker, but that's a very minor thing in an otherwise flawless entry. Can't sing this game's praises enough

Submitted

I'm thrilled that you managed to develop the lore and story dialogues while visualizing them so stylishly! I love the design, direction, and especially the music. The core idea is great, and its execution is top-notch!

One improvement could be adding temporary invincibility after taking damage (to prevent dying from a single wave of projectiles) and slightly refining movement by adding small dashes—often, I found myself unable to slip between attacks.

But overall, this is an excellent game, especially for a jam! Great job!

Everything from the lore to the characters is superbly crafted and put together cohesively. I love the color palette used and the boss designs. Only slight nitpick is that I would appreciate some short invulnerability if I get hit; you can take 3-4 hits from bullets in one go if you whiff a move. I really enjoyed this hidden gem and it deserves lots of recognition for all the hard work and care put into its aesthetic!

Very clean and polished I feel like we had similar ideas when it comes to controls. Using holding click to charge up a dash attack with 3 levels ahah. The art, and story are great for this feels like a full game! Amazing work if this doesnt make top 30 I'll be suprised!

This is hands down one of the best entries I've seen on here, from the stylish presentation with gorgeous pixel art characters, to the colors used, and the music? Good lord the music just fits. And on top of all of what I already mentioned, the gameplay is just so freaking fun, I feel like I'm controlling a gigantic beyblade ramming the opponent senselessly. This game is incredible!!

Awesome game! Loved the story, art, and sound design. Got me jamming all the way through! Character design and story was a plus too.

Developer

Thank you for playing, I’m glad you enjoyed your time with it!

Great integration of the theme, amazing sounds/music and I loved the visuals! I do wish there was a more reliable way to move around because it is really hard to play and not take damage

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! I’m glad you liked what you saw. I see what you mean about the movement, I’ve added some tips on the game page to help with that in the future.
