Game's Take on the Theme
You move by spinning around a tower. Additionally, you also fight using a yoyo, so the theme's been applied twice technically :D
Did your team make the majority of the art and music during the jam?
Yes

Everything about this game is perfect, the art is so beautiful, the bosses are fun to play and the main character has really cool attacks.
I really had a lot of fun playing this game. Great Job. I loved the art style and the mechanics. One of the most polished games I had played.
I absolutely love this, the way the tower spins is so good and the music is superb, reminds me alot of shovel knight. My only thing is the controls, after the first boss i had a really hard time with the platforming outside the tower, i understood what i was supposed to do but for some reason i just couldn't do it, that might be on me though and I'll try again with a controller. What a great game, good job!
5 stars game. What a gem.
Woah, that rotation effect looks super neat, I loved the hollow knight like combat with pogos and the bosses felt really enjoyable to play, good job :)
So polished. Many interesting platformer game. Visually stunning.
Please rate my 2s platformer duck game, when you have some time.
Game has really good idea and great realization. Using perspective to know when to dodge is a great idea. Good job.
This has an insane amount of polish?? Everything was so well put together it's insane. The 3D illusion looks amazing too.
I will say that the only thing I wasn't particularly a fan of was that you stop in mid air when you attack. I'm sure that's a detail you've gone back and forth with a lot, but for me personally I find that it interrupts my flow. I think that extra little hop could be reserved for a little mid air hop when you press space while off the ground?
Either way, this was extremely well done. Be proud of this. Music and sound effects are professionally done too. Great stuff
Cool game
Great job, good use of spin. Perspective is not as bad as i thought it would be with the way things rotate which is impressive for a 2d game!
Seriously amazing game. Extremely polished, super itneresting mechanic, simple and intuitive controls, beautiful art and music. 10/10 nice job this is so fun
Very cool spinning mechanic! Everything feels polished and I like that the bosses drop health sometimes to ease difficulty. There were some times where say I was attacking to the right, then i click left, the character moves left, and i click attack but the attack was still towards the right. The last boss fireball attack was also a bit finnicky. Overall, a well made game.
Very neat game! I really like how the whole game is about moving around some kind of tower which really opened up room for very cool boss mechanics. There is a significant amount of challenge that goes into this game, but it still feels extremely fair, especially with hearts dropping that allow you to restore health during battle. Additionally, the game looks great and polished.
SELL THIS GAME, I BEG YOU DEVELOP THIS MORE AND SELL THIS FUCKING GAME
LOVE IT
Very good game, liked it all
I'm always impressed by the use of 3D illusion in 2D space in games, I'm really digging this!
What a great game! I loved everything—the boss design, the aesthetics, the use of the theme, and the music is absolutely amazing, 10/10. Except for the fact that the game crashed while I was fighting the third boss, right when it seemed like it was starting a different attack from the first two. I couldn’t finish it because of that, but I’ll definitely give it another shot later. Beautiful game!
Whoops haven't had anyone crash there yet I don't think! I'll try to get that fixed for a post-jam version. Thanks for letting me know and I'm glad you liked it!
This is the first game that got 5 stars in 5 out of the 6 categories. Just amazing. The spinning tower was jarring at first but got used to it pretty quickly. This heavily reminded of fez.
