Game's Take on the Theme
Under the theme of "Spin", our idea for this theme was to do a Breakdance game, seemed that it is a dance style which involves a lot of spinning, mainly with dance moves like backspin, headspin or any other moves.

Did your team make the majority of the art and music during the jam?
Yes

Very enjoyable game! Well done mechanics and love the creative boss implementations. Our game did a rhythm game as part of our gameplay as well, so definitely like your thinking!

Cool art and music. Well done!

Hey There!

I like the visuals and the music, its spectacular, also Im not that good in this type of games but I like the concept you have here, its very nicely made. I rate graphics, controls, fun and music on top but all is great really, also, if you have some time, please rate my game too, thanks!!!

Submitted

Really liked the art and the music. I couldn't figure out the controls for the life of me. I managed to do a bit of moves right, but overall probably a skill issue :D I also got it bugged one time, if you select the pad first and then the moves, the game doesn't progress and you have to restart it. Overall, great job!

Would love it if you can play and review my submission, thanks! <3

Cool game!

Cool atmosphere, good soundtrack and nice sprites and character movements.

Among the minuses, I would like to highlight the sometimes strange behavior of pressing where it may not be processed at all

Submitted

creative way of working on theme.

Ok, I didn't think I would get this far, but I did, haha, I like the concept of the game. Anyway, if it's a music game, why don't the arrows have musical sounds? That should be the key.

loved the girl's design, very stylish, very cute, very cool

game? not very good, but a creative take on spinning

I'd argue it isn't really a boss rush, however

I am really bad at these games, but my club penguin prowess was coming to shine somehow! I really liked the idea of the game and the execution was quite awesome! The use of the theme was unique and the graphics were cool! One critique I have is that the arrows move a little bit too fast, but maybe I'm just a scrub! Hope to see you work more on this!

Submitted

Fun concept. Felt like a break dancer.

Check out my game. Please help rate it

Submitted

Seems like cool idea.


However the fact that arrows are not in sync with rythm is gamebreaking for me.

More love to this feature can release its potential.

Submitted

Really original take on theme and cool music!

Submitted

I absolutely love the take of spinning being related to Break Dancing! I saw your note about bugs so I won't comment on those, but I'm sure if you guys ever come around to work more on this it could turn out pretty fun.

Submitted

I'd suggest removing the ability to press "play pad" before selecting the card arrows rather than writing not to do it

Other than that, I really liked the art and idea of the game ^^ If you continue to work on it after the jam, it would be cool to sync the music to the arrows like in FNF

Submitted

Tying the spinning theme to breakdancing is a very creative direction! Yours is the first I've seen in that vein, well done!
