To match that theme, we added mechanics that had to do with spinning, such as player attacks and boss attacks. We also went with the steampunk vibe because the whole place would be filled with gears which are heavily associated with spinning.
There was still more that would've been nice to add, such as rotating boss stages or attacks where the player has to hit a "spin" button to escape, but we were running low on time. Thank you for the feedback though!
