Boss Rush Jam 2025

Spin Overload jam comments

Alright, I tried my best not to give 5 stars on everything, but I couldn’t resist! The game is great, the main menu, the testing dummy, the movement is soooo fluid and the gameplay in general is pretty satisfying! The boss designs are all innovative and make you thing of new ways to defeat them. And I love that the use of the theme “Spinning” has so much of influence on the gameplay!

Thank you very much for your comment, and I'm glad you enjoyed the game and the fights! Yes, that's right, we wanted the video game to have a Mega Man style and also combine it with a bit of Sonic move style =). Have an excellent day ^_^!

Fast, fun, and super satisfying! The spinning attack feels great, and the retro pixel art gives it a lot of charm. The boss fights are challenging but rewarding, making every victory feel earned. Congrats ❤🌻

this game is very fun, landing the spinning attack is great, but it feels like the dash attack is rendered useless by its existence. all 3 bosses are really good, but the second one was more annoying as he was a bit hard to reach, and funnily enough, he is the only boss without a stun window.

art and sounds were also great, nice job!

Thanks for playing!

The dash was mainly used for evading the boss attacks, being an attack was sort of a bonus. Try dashing up! It should make the second and third bosses easier too! I think we could’ve better communicated that the dash can be used in more directions, might update it after the jam.

If you try the game again, try using the upwards dash + spin to catch the boss. At least for me and some of the playtesters, it can be quite fun chasing the boss and dealing tons of damage on top of him!

Thanks for the playing and giving feedback!

Very nice to do lots of damage with the spin! It took me a while to get the hang of the controls, especially when hitting the bosses high in the air. But I finally got the hang of it!

Very different bosses! I had a lot of fun :D

Well done :)

Yeahhh, that was the idea of the game: to make it have Sonic's Spin but in a Megaman-style game. Thanks for playing! Have a great day ^_^
