Very cute game! And very different from anything else I've played here in the jam. Loved the art style and the music/audio (maybe I focus too much in the audio of all games I play because I did the music for mine, lol). Great job!

I'm always happy if any one part of the game worked out well :) Glad you had fun!

Submitted

nice game, i really liked the music

Developer

I'll pass it on to our composer, thank you!

Submitted

I really liked the game but got stuck on the spider assembly puzzle! I solved everything else I could though. Well done!

Developer

Inarguably the hardest one in the game. Thanks for playing!

Submitted

cool game!

I especially like the art style

the spider assembly puzzle was really hard though, I couldn't get it. maybe the legs could snap into place when you get them right

Well done! I'm impressed that this was made in such a short time period!

Developer

Sorry about that, but I am glad you still had fun!

Submitted

Interesting little game! There’s a lot of spinning used in different ways across each puzzle  -and spiders. Cool concept!

Developer

Thanks, we made that  a point - if a game has no fighting bunnies like yours, you gotta make the most of it! :D

Nice little game, the visuals were really good! Though I wish that jester wasn't there because I couldnt see the bottom of my screen cuz of him and there was some important stuff there at certain times.

Keep up the good work!

Developer

Ah, sorry there were obscured objects, thet was obviously not the intention. Glad you liked it anyway, thank you!

Very cute little puzzle game!

Developer

We were going for borderline creepy ;) still, thanks. A bit big in scope though, I cannot advise escape rooms for jams.

Submitted

Very cute! I enjoyed the different puzzles. Only thing I struggled with was the re-assembling the spider - I wasn't sure what order to put it back together aside from four legs on each side. Otherwise, lovely entry beautiful art, great job!

Developer

Thank you. Yes, time constraints unintentionally made that the hardest puzzle in the game, you know how jams are ;)

Submitted

hehe so many levels of spinning!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for noticing ;) Man, it feels like I spent half the jam time learning about angles in math.

Submitted(+1)

Hahaha yeah i know the feeling. So many vectors!! Most of the problem solving was actually just drawing vectors and math equations on paper :)

Love the artwork!

Developer

Thanks! We had two artists AND animation, and it shows!

Submitted

Great game! I unfortunately couldn't solve the last puzzle... the robot legs were a bit confusing.

Developer

Thanks! Sorry you missed out - it's not the last puzzle ;) I Don't think I can fix it anymore though. Maybe I should offer a hidden hint on the game page how to solve it?

I got stuck at first on some puzzles, but at the end it's a short and sweet experience. I would like it more if the dialogues where a bit easier to read, because the background, how fast they pass by and the movements of the character kinda distract me from understanding what they are talking about.
Otherwise, great work!

Developer(+1)

Yes, we bit off a big chunk with an escape room for a jam; I'm glad to hear you could solve the puzzles after all. Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted(+1)

Great work! I love love loved the art style and the funky little guy (the text moved by a little too quickly for me to catch his full name) and I really enjoyed the different ways you interpreted the "spin to win" theme of the jam!

Developer

I'll pass it on to the artists :) And thanks for noticing. I can add one extra cherry on top: in my native German, Spider is "Spinne"

Submitted

I was unable to complete it because of the robot puzzle, but I like the ideas! The art style was really nice

Developer

Thanks! Can you explain what the issue was, was it unclear how to solve it, or was there a technical problem?

Submitted

I saw the little spider image in the top of the screen (I'm assuming that's how you're supposed to solve it, if I'm wrong then maybe it's just a skill issue), but it didn't seem to translate super well to the robot. It would be great if the legs snapped into place or something, but many of them had similar angles and I never got them into the correct places. Otherwise I really liked the game!
