This just takes me back to iron lung. Difficulty is by far the only problem I see with it. Visuals are nice, mechanic simple but works, sounds are perfect

hey i gotta say the visuals are really good and it was a really cool game to play i dont think i ever played anything like it so pretty original !

i love the idea of this game, and the visuals are stunning. ambience is also really well done.

the only thing i can really complain about is the difficulty. The core runs out of charge way too fast, and enemies attack too often imo. its hard to even get a single kill. other than that, great game

My hand hurts from turning so much! Also the enemies shoot so much faster than I could ever, its hard to keep up.

hey Herectic, it's khernEL ( from discord ), the 3d aspect with dirty and old metal is impressive bruh, pretty like,don't forget tu play mine ;)

This one is delightfully clunky, but it quickly becomes too much to manage - having to spin the core, the wheels for each ammo type, firing the weapons, positioning aim - I almost feel like less might've been more. The mechanic of aiming with the wheels is nice, as is the wheel to select the ammo types - but maybe a simple bar you pull back to load a shell in and fire it would fit for the weaponry?

The scaling does feel off, but it's got merit, and the act of adjusting your aim before loosing a round feels like driving a large, heavy, clunky tank. I'd almost say more enemies with weaker defenses would work, and making the defense more rock-paper-scissors. Piercing rounds for shields, normal and light for hulls. It does feel like too many shots are needed to take out the tougher enemies, leading to a sort of slog of adjusting aiming, firing, adjusting, firing.

I think this game could shine with the rapid-stress of having to pivot to a new target every shot, as the more exhilarating moments were when I was getting pelted with rounds and had to pivot 180 to find the enemy currently lighting me up.

I think if you made this a tank simulator type experience, it would be perfect, and could definitely shine on steam as a solid combat experience.

EDIT: Just saw on the game page this was made with AI assistance. How much of that was used?

The most spinning of all games in the jam I've seen so far. My arm literally is aching right now, but it was worth it. A few constructive notes from me though: too much is offered to the player at once, meaning types of ammo, where to rotate, what to aim, and the immediate pressure of being knocked out of fuel confuses most of the people from what I've read. And that scaling is probably the reason why I haven't given this game 5 stars in enjoyment. Upgrades are nice, but again - scaling kills the satisfaction from getting them, when I expect to survive for longer, but it occurs that in wave 3 I get shot twice as often so I indeed am losing power even faster regardless. Nevertheless, the game is a perfect starter towards a game that could be very successful on steam, especially targeted towards military enthusiasts. Very serious indeed!

Very much a spin to win game!! You nailed the atmosphere: it's very tense and cool. I didn't understand how to aim until I went on your steam page and saw the gif: maybe change the center point to a crosshair shape would help. Really cool, very hard. I like it!

The game is really good, kinda difficult and slow but i suppose thats the idea. It would be great to turn the camera with the arrows or  WASD.  And music, diegetic music could be a great addition.

Concept is good, i like it. I think it needs a little bit of balancing. I found myself having time to only move one axis and having to spin the core for 15 second again just to go turn the other axis. Maybe make the core spin for longer or charge faster? Either way pretty good submission!

Super cool theme, visuals, and sound design. Very difficult! Great work!
