Fun mood :)

It's a fun little time waster, I would love to see this again with some additional polish.

Nice game, could use a bit more polishing, sometimes the “arm” goes straight through the plates.

Yeah loads of things I'd change if I had another hour

A nice small game that presents itself well enough that you ignore the fact it's just circles and lines! You've managed to make a lot out of a fairly small premise.

Challenging game. I included it in my GMTK Game Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

awesome 👍

Dunno why it lagged so much, conflicting with the recording software?

Submitted(+2)

This is fun!! I love how you mix it up with the hazards and stuff. It wasn't needed, as the gameplay is already solid enough with trying to juggle the things, but it's welcome and does a lot to improve the game.

The game is quite, dare i say it, out of control... what i've struggled the most is the position of the plates realtive to the position of the key to press: if a plate is on the left, but the key to press is on the right, this confuses a lot of player... (or at least me)

And i'ts not just a matter of "some key goes to the left, some to the right": if i get, for esample a "K" and a "P" keys, they should be both on the right half of the screen, but the "P" key should be further on the right than the "K" key...

(I got lucky with the bombs, so sadly i can not talk about those)

And lastly, the story needs a better explaination and/or introduction: if i didn't read the description i would have never... well, the entire story... Small Tip: make the mystery god statue (btw what is that thing???) appear sometimes on screen and say something to cheer the player when he plays. It serves both as a motivation to keep playing and/or improve your score, to remind a player that a story exist, and, if you are evil enough, as a distraction

But, despite everything negative I said, the game is much fun as it is (i think you should keep this "confusing mode" as an hard mode), the "New High Score!" text is a top nothc... And don't even let me startd on the music... Well done!!! 👍

I like how it turns into keyboard twister :) Very fitting for the theme.

Bombs did get stuck, only made it to 4 plates because of that.

all this proves is that i dont know my keyboard as well as i thought! very fun game!

That was chaotic! Fun game, and great idea. Love the story.

Oh god, spinning 6 plates was so tense, my high score was 24683.
Very fun game, all the random events really fit well with the core mechanic, and it 100% fits the theme. Good job!

Developer

Wow! Good score!

cool concept xd the speaking sounds are too loud my best score is 13852

Submitted(+1)

Well done on this game!! It's very unique and fun, and it looks and sounds great! It's also really difficult lol. Almost reminds me of resource management games. Well done again :D

Submitted(+1)

Just tried your game, it was very fun and original. Great job keep creating games!

Developer

Thanks for playing

Submitted(+1)

The game started off a bit too loud with the sound effects, and I couldn't find a volume slider - after the intro, the game volume was fine.

The presentation is very colourful and neat, the fact that the buttons for spinning change as well can make it really hectic - as well as having to make them jump. It took a bit to get how to make the plates jump (they need enough speed), but it was quite intuitive.

I think the intro could've been skipped entirely, though - I don't feel it added anything to your game.

Having a high score gives you something to strive towards, the game is very happy to announce your new high score as well, which feels great.

Having to manage so many spinning plates definitely makes you feel out of control!

Well done!

Developer

Thanks for the comment! 

I understand that people like to skip intros so there is a skip button.

This is incredibly fun!

Developer

Thanks!

It's very unusual idea, good job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks, your game is cool too

Submitted(+1)

This game is cool although it is defiantly to hard for me.

Submitted(+1)

I absolutely agree :)

Developer

Yeah, it's not a game you can beat unless you have five friends to help you lol

Submitted(+1)

The god of chaos wasn't impressed by my skills. :'(

Nice concept with cute retro/lo-fi graphics.

Developer

Thanks, your game is very thematic

Submitted(+1)

Great game! made me think back to warioware!

Developer

Now that you mention it it does look like a warioware level lol
