I like a lot the circus theme, I saw some on this jam, I think we link roulette with circus in a way, here the roulette is integrated nicely, the mechanics are fun and works great, the visuals for the circus theme match quite well too, I like the color pallete that you are using that builds this atmosphere so nice around us. I rate graphics, control, fun and music the most, but all is great really, also, if you have some time, please, rate my game too, thanks!!!!

Game's Take on the Theme
We used spin for a roulette that makes the boss be chosen at random, as well as a slot machine that chooses the players weapon's, magic tricks and potions at random.
Did your team make the majority of the art and music during the jam?
Yes, everything was made in the duration of the jam.

The game is really beautiful and full of good ideas. But it took me a while to figure out that you had to use the Q key to attack (on an azerty keyboard, it's not so obvious). It might be useful to indicate the controls on the game page.
Anyway, congratulations on a great game :D

The wheelI get cuphead vibes from this game, i got used for the controls pretty fast, i liked the art and designs of the bosses. But there is an enormous lack of sfx. And why game is windowed and has so tiny resolution? I liked the game.

Gears And BladesA very cool visual style! I really liked how unique and distinct each boss's attacks are—it feels really well done! I had a great time playing through it—excellent work!

Deep and DeeperVery good! i loved the art a lot it was a bit hard to figure out the controls but i think that was part of the humiliation experience by a clown XD
The animations are very smooth and has very interesting boss designs!

Zoetrope GameI really loved the art and visual style of the game! The setting and narrative was also quite appealing. The gameplay and controls could use a little polish, but overall, it was a good experience!

Simi and the Golden BananaThis is pretty good! Love the premise and it has a lot of charm to it. The script and aesthetics were well done. This game could have benefitted from a lot of polish and sound effects, I feel like that would have elevated the project by at least 2 or 3 steps. The gameplay feels a little flat as well, but with some focused thought in there it could be a WILD ride. Well done!

Wheeley McTwistTHANK YOU. THANK YOU. THAAAANK YOU, THE ARTISTS WILL BE SO HAPPY TO KNOW THAT. thank you so much for the kind words and for giving some love to our crybaby! in the near future (after the jam, of course), we will polish the combat so it can be an even better experience, make sure to follow us for some updates!
The custom drawn art is absolutely gorgeous and some of the best I've seen in the jam. I can see the inspiration from Cuphead in the style and animations. Super well done on that front.

Orbital DecayThe Art and Music is Awwesome!
But i felt like the controls are little hard at the beginning the got used to it!. I would Also Recommend to use Playable Tutorial instead for Narrative,
But these are my opinion
Overall the game is well made awesome work.
