Comments
This game doesn't look like a game made for a gamejam but a prototype for something bigger. There is so many things that are great. So instead of trying to list them I will focus on my concerns.
- And my main concern its that it isn't a true boss rush in a classic way, where we have to beat all bosses, and death brings us to the beginning. Because we can jump from main menu from one boss to another, regain full.
- I feel like the bosses could be a bit harder. There is a great learning curve from one boss to the last, but I almost beat all bosses on first try. Maybe a difficulty level witch one hit to death mode I will have possibility to spend more time in this game.
- Controls are great on gamepad, but on keyboard they are a bit difficult, requiring time to adapt
And again, great game. GJ!
Another masterpiece with a nostalgic retro feel that took me back to my NES childhood era. It’s a bittersweet feeling - melancholic, yet comforting. Great use of the spin theme, and I love the variety of bosses. Music and SFX are on point, and the balance is just right - winning with your last HP makes it even more satisfying.
The cocktail recipes could stay on screen a bit longer to fully enjoy the intro sequence. Margarita, though completely destroyed me :D
Spin responsibly!
Your game was really fun! I ended up having a little trouble with the controls because the ground didn't move, but other than that your game is really good! I loved the art, minimalist but very pretty! The sound effects fit well! Congratulations on your game!
I really appreciated the balancing on this. Perfectly in the middle of challenging but fair
What a creative risk and reward system! Fantastic work! Maybe this might just be my lack in knowledge of alcoholic beverages but I wasn't quite sure how the theming of the bullets tied back to the drinks. Not to say it needed to be literal lemons and whatnot just something like "oh this drink is spicy so there's fireballs" or "this drink is sour so there's an electric theming".
I absolutely suck at this game, but the idea is super unique, and uses the theme perfectly (the spinning menu is also a nice touch). I found the game a little frustrating at times, but it was mainly because of skill issue, and I don't really have any recommendations to improve the game. Great job!
Okey, this is great the idea that you move around but you don't see directly is amazing
5 stars game. Cute pixel art, easy controls, great mechanics
