cool game! i love how it looks and feels. 

the good:

1. the mechanics are good and clear and generally enjoyable. feedback is good. things feel good to play. the music is also good.

2. the player, enemy, and ui are exceptionally well-sprited and well-presented. everything looks great too.

3. the different enemy types go a long way towards adding variation within each wave itself, as adding target prioritization to the mix immediately makes things more engaging.

4. i was not expecting a boss! it was fun and a neat way to end the game.

the "eh":

1. the background and edges of the arena feeling comparatively empty stands out. a simple background plus some world decals could go a long way here for making the world itself feel more "full".

2. why do card effects show their effects on *hover* instead of all the time? also, what's the point of spinning the cards you draw? it doesn't even appear like it's randomizing anything, so it feels superfluous that you do that before picking an upgrade.

3. enemies probably shouldnt be able to shoot at you while you are on top of them or really close. it makes it frustrating since its basically unreactable.

4. maybe more upgrades and upgrades that feel better? most felt fairly inconsequential ngl.

great game tho!! thanks for the entry!!

The art music are sick. Absolutely love how everything looks and feels here. All the upgrades are really cool tool. My only two nitpicks are one, having to click on spin to roll new upgrades. I feel like if you aren't able to do anything but spin then it should just happen automatically. I feel like the mage enemies ramp up the difficulty a little too much since you have to dodge their bullets but you don't have precise control over your own movement. There were times were it felt I was being put in an impossible situation and just had to take the hit

Great game! All the elements come together nicely to create a really great game-jam game.

Cool retro style, simple but fun mechanic, I made it to the final boss, but he kicked my ass. Fun game!

It's a fun game, I like it. Cool music, cool drawing

What a Game 
the Music was Really Good Also The Animations Great Work ! 

Whoa this was a pretty cool concept with how the fighting works! I think the controls could've been just on the mouse though with how reliant it is for changing the focus of the spin, charging the spin could've just been on the left mouse button for a simpler experience. Shift just didn't feel right since there wasn't much else going on with the keyboard. I did wish the walls/box was smaller as I felt like I wasn't utilizing the bounce off the walls as much as I wanted to since the impact on it felt great! I think this would be something fun to build further out though, I could see the skill cap for this being pretty high in a great way! Really cool entry!

Hey, I liked the game that you guys made here, especially the music and the simple graphics. For the gameplay, I think a little more juice would have gone a long way to make the more satisfying to play. Like blood spraying out of enemies when you hit them and some of it sticking on the floor. But I understand if  you guys wanted to keep the visual clutter to a low. Regardless, the game was simple and fun to play.

Very cool!

I really like this game, and it's a good little roguelike game. The music is phenomenal in my opinion, and I think overall the game's art direction and sound design was really good. There were maybe some things around the edges that could need work, like being able to access audio in the pause menu while in a run, and if you start off hovering over a card when the spinning ends, you have to remove your mouse and put it back over to reveal what it is, but this is one of the best games I have played in the jam so far, this was really great.

Art was really nice, I think the game would’ve benefited from more of it. I liked the music in the main menu, but once it picked up while playing I found it pretty distracting, so I turned it down most of the way.

The controls feel a little floaty to me, and I think the dash is both way too fast and doesn’t give you enough time to aim in a particular direction.

Cool use of the theme, and the overall game concept is good. Nice job!

I saw u rate my game and decided id play yours! It is really fun, sprites are very cool, I like the game mechanics, very well executed! There is a bug though, if you die when the wave ends, you get stuck in the 'death state', which means you can progress though the waves still but you are basically immortal since you cant take dmg cos your already, well, technically dead. And one minor criticism, the camera felt like it was left behind sometimes when the player dashes, like it sometimes lags behind quite a bit and it makes it a bit harder to see enemies. But other than that, I loved it :)

A lot of good things here. The spritework and animations are exceptional, the core gameplay felt really fun and intuitive, and the theme application was very creative. Great work!

The idea and the art was really good , Nice job !

Loved the art style, the colors look great! Dashing felt really good. The camera following gave me a bit of motion sickness, though. Maybe it could work if the whole arena fit on screen at once instead of having the camera follow the player? Just a thought. Great work overall!

The gameplay is really fun, and the art is incredible. The audio is very nice as well. The movement feels smooth and responsive. Only slight nitpick is that the health system is a bit forgiving, but it doesnt ruin the game in any way, only a slight annoyance. This is the game that i've played the most so far. Nice job to everyone involved!

Very good art and the concept is pretty solid. With more content this could become addicting.

By far, this is the best "spinning" concept I played, the soundfx & the feeling of swaying by the spinning is really the best. However, idk why it stucks here I pressed everything nothing works

I really loved this submission! awesome use of the theme:) Definitely felt a bit easy. I feel like the enemy power scale could go up a bit.
