Game's Take on the Theme
Our game brings the 'spin' directly into the implementation of animations, showcasing an older form of animation with variations on an ancient mechanism that predates the age of animations, but in a much more technological environment. If you want to know more about what a Zoetrope is, we have an explanation on the game page :D

Did your team make the majority of the art and music during the jam?
Yes the whole game was made by our team!

I like the visuals in the game, reminds me of cuphead and other that have this kind of animation in them, the mechanics are cool and fun, the game is cool!!

I'll play yours now, 

I rated it :D :D 

Your game reminds me of classic animation—I really love that vintage touch! It gives the game a unique and nostalgic feel. Great work!

This is one of my favorite takes I've seen on the spin theme!  The art style and music is really great!

I feel like one thing that would make this game better if you keep working on it would be hit effects when you or the boss gets hit.  I think you have an opportunity to do something cool with it with the zoetrope effect.  I'd suggest when the player or boss gets hit, the light flickers for a second or so and it plays a sound effect similar to when you die.  

Amazing job, can't wait to see more!
