Game's Take on the Theme
2d Shooter
Did your team make the majority of the art and music during the jam?
I made the pixel by myself

Fun game! You did a great job adding an increasing difficulty curve for the bosses! Good work!
Nice basic game for the limited time you had, I would love the ability to shoot more then just left and right when the boss is spinning all around me.
Simple and entertaining. By the way it would be better to state up arrow is for jumping I have tried to play the game with a thought in mind that "I shouldn't fall down".
Thanks for suggestions.
fun and simplistic game! wish there were more levels and boss fights to discover and maybe some new abilities for the player would be fun!
Cute game! The bosses gets increasingly hard, which I like. I wish there was some way to shoot in other directions, because it is somewhat hard to shoot only horizontally while avoiding projectiles.
The visuals are neat though, great game
I really enjoyed the game and the phase where you are on the spinning platforms was a nice unexpected addition!
Fun! Congratulations on your work
it so good continue
That may sound dumbs, but the I loved the twist between the first and the 2nd boss, where the 'thig that is spinning' is swpped between the player and the boss! Congrats!
I really liked it! I believe that if continued it still has good potential! I understand that the lack of sufficient time was an obstacle in development, but even so it has already managed to demonstrate the potential that its game promises! Congratulations on what was developed in the short period of time, I liked it!
Thanks for your comment.
The first boss felt a little easy. I was barely shot, maybe you could make it target the player from time to time? I was actually going near the shots to see if I could parry and deflect them, that would had been a nice addition. Also, looks like there is some cooldown to the parry, maybe a visual indicator would help. Other than that, very cool entry and aligned with the theme.
Thank for your recommendation.
bummer its incomplete. potential is there :) thanx for sharing!
good game but the theme is spin not shooter 2d

Pretty fun little game, nice job dev(s)!! The first boss fight was had a really nice difficulty curve to it and felt challenging while still fun. The minimalistic platforms and backgrounds could have used some more detail but they worked fine in the game and didn't look out of place. The enemies had a really neat sci-fi vibe to them, and the player character is pretty cool looking. There were some nice bits of polish too, like the dust particle effects behind the player for example. I beat the first 3 bosses and had a good time doing so. I wish the spinning platform laser boss (the 4th one) had been completed because it was a really cool concept and the different platform movement for that level was a nice change of pace. For constructive criticism I would say: needs some background music to help with the tone, more detailed backgrounds/platforms, and I wish the defend button blocked attacks from all angles. I never used the defend button because it made more sense to just jump out of the way rather than position myself correctly to face the attack and block it. I enjoyed my playthrough with your game, keep up the good work!!
Thank for sharing your experience. I will make the changes you mentioned.

Seem solid. It's a shame that you guys didn't manage to diss out a more complete project. I had fun with messing around with the bosses.
This game seems pretty good for being still in the making/needing bug fixes. Power outages suck! A few hours before our game jam was submitted, two out of three of us couldn't get itch.io to load. It was so stressful! Good use of the theme here, bosses are decent, looking forward to more sound and music if you do more after the jam. Thanks for the experience and commendations for creating it solo!
I am glad thanks for your comment. I will improve it for future release with complete and better gameplay.
Congrats for getting as far as you did even with the issues you faced. Its nice to see something submitted even if you couldn't get where you wanted to, and you should be happy with that!
Liked the simplicity of the game. Some attack variety would've nice tho.
A simple game, but not bad for a start. Keep it up! :)
