Game's Take on the Theme
You control a top that spins, and fight other spinning tops. The tops are rigid bodies which means the collision are simulated to try and make it feel more like tops smashing into each other.

Did your team make the majority of the art and music during the jam?
yes - Music was made by a friend, and some art (including boss 2) was made by another

If not, please link to any asset packs or resources used here.
Some Royalty free sound effects for explosion, gunshot, bell, and tree grow effects. Others were recorded (top collision, shield effect).

Not a bad game, simple but fun.

Easy to get the hang off and room for mastery with shield timings.

A shame there's only 2 bosses but good job non-the-less.

I do like how the spinning top boss actually starts taking damage and falls apart as it gets low on health.

Beyblade! :D
That is easy to play, hard to master. Good game.

Honestly had a lot of fun playing this! The game feels really good to play with how impactful the charge attack is and how satisfying pulling off a block right before the impact feels. 

And I like all the flavor you gave to each of the bosses, a top strapped with axes that chops trees then throws the logs at you is a very creative idea, it was cool when it broke the damn. And the duel at high noon with the gunslinger was very cinematic. 

Overall I really liked it :)

Oh wow, despite how the game looks, the controls and mechanics are pretty tight!  The bosses felt pretty fair and the good use of hit stops made the game feel pretty great to play.  Nice job!

Submitted

I like the controls but I was a bit confused about the mechanics. I was just spamming the right click attack most of the time. Also have a different health bar for the boss. I couldn't differentiate between the 2 health bars before dying once. But overall I thought it was fun.

Thanks for playing! Spamming the right click is he way to go, though holding it for a full charge and combining it with the shield will give you the best results!

Pretty fun game! I think I really enjoy the concept of charging up a dash and then blocking with a shield right before impact. It’s extremely satisfying to hit an enemy with the sound effect, and I thought both the river flooding and the duel was pretty neat. Good job on this!

Submitted

The concept seems vaguely familiar.... anyway, I enjoyed it. I loved how simple the controls were but still took a bit of time to master. loved the final boss, dodging the bullets and the dual were great.

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it! pulled an all nighter the night before the jam ended to get that duel in haha

Submitted

Great game! I loved the tutorial. Overall the game was very fun, simple and not very hard. Though the game is pretty short, I enjoyed all of it, good job!

Submitted

I really liked the game design, and the tutorial was well done - it made everything easy to pick up.
The effects made the attacks feel clear and satisfying, and overall, it was a great experience!

Nice little game, the more you play the more you understand how to play and the boss design is pretty cool too!

Good job, it was fun!

Broo this was surprisingly good, I think the game feels great AND has actual depth to its boss-fights, I think the art is good but still holding back the general experience a bit, overall this definitely gets a good grade !

Submitted

This was fun! Too bad it was so short. Was exited from seeing just a screenshot but got a bit disapointed when realized I'm not the one with rotating axe heads :)

Wish there was a little more content.

Developer

haha yeah originally was gonna do the jam with a buddy but ended up going solo, so scope had to be adjusted. Glad you enjoyed it. Will have to make the player top more exciting next time ;)

Submitted

Nice game, I like the mechanic, not too easy, not too hard, when you know how to properly use shield.

Submitted

really interesting take on spinner arena game. the bosses are pretty creative. the cowboy spinner guy is hilarious. nice work

Submitted

Definitely one of the more interesting interpretations of the theme! Having to use the shield before hitting the boss also makes the game more interesting. Good Job!

Submitted(+1)

Really interesting game! The controls are easy to use the mechanics simple to understand

Submitted

Fun game! I like the little events that happened during the fights like the cowboy quick draw, added some variety to the game which was really good. Well done!

Submitted

Good game for your first take on making game! I like your art style, simple but effective

Submitted

Cool game. Good job keep it up!
