How does your game fit the theme?
The player is constantly moving in a circular pattern. Doing a full loop will grant them a random powerup. (plus, the game is about spinning saws, which can also be a kind of interpretation of the theme)

Cute buug. Addictive and challenging gameplay.
This concept is very elegant, easy to learn and hard to master and absolutely fits the theme of the jam. I also appreciated some quality of life features, like the fact that the scrap moves toward the player when close enough. With some extensions, it could very well be a fully fledged arcade game!
Super cool! I completed all the levels. You did great all around, it was creative, enjoyable, you had some narrative, I liked the art, and the audio was good too. Nice work!
I liked how the character looked 3d, and the movement was interesting. I also enjoyed the tune in the background. Nice game!
Cutesy, had a lot of fun with it! Great job!
very cute and creative game i've ever seen so far. I'm quite interested to how you made your character movement is 2d but like 3d :0,, Impressive, good work!
Very creative and addictive. I enjoyed all the levels, and I thought the grading system was a nice touch. Just a suggestion: maybe the saws could also have some shadow, since both the player and power-ups have one. Even in the thumbnail, they have one, and it might make them pop slightly more.
Great Job :D
Great Game! Such an amazing interpretation of the theme. Also really like how you did the character art, making it look sort of 3D, but still 2D.
All of the different saw variants were devilishly delicious! A delectably disastrous delight! Each one built upon the last in such a terrifying way - and when they were all together it was crazy navigating around them!
One of my favorite games of the jam so far easily, a unique mechanic + addictive gameplay is a difficult combo that you pulled of amazingly, great stuff
Amazing game, the movement mechanic is really satisfying. Great interpretation of the theme 🙌
Really enjoyed this game, it has smooth controls and is fun to play. Great entry!
Quite challenging at first, but very satisfying once you get the hang of it! The art is nice and the music quite groovy. The whole experience is well crafted and really polished, good job!
Very unique mechanic and well executed!
Loved your take on the theme! Level design and mechanics felt unique compared to other games I've played thus far. The art style is awesome, and the movement feels great! Also liked the visual feedback for when you got a power up- made things easy to understand and intuitive.
Nice game play ,Cool !
Super enjoyable to play! The controls felt really smooth and fun to learn. Love the idea and the narrative built into the game <3
A very original way to control a character! It took some time getting used to the movement but eventually it felt like 2nd nature. Great job!
It feels really polished! I love the character movement — super fun.
Everything feels really complete, I loved it!
I like when the theme of the jam is made into the mechanics so good work with that. Also very cute art and good music. Good job on saving the level rankings even after I left the game!
I would have liked if the levels added something different to the game or a new mechanic, also I think the powerup mechanic is kind of optional since the game can be finished with no problem without using it at all, maybe it helps with increasing the ranking but that also seems very optional.
