I know I'm late, but let me leave some notes here as well~

- feel like streamlining picking the kid up with space as well could make things simpler

- indeed a bit eerie all around with so little sounds and music, would definitely elevate things :)

- boss got done as well, nice

- maybe that's just my skill issue speaking, but it feels impossible to aim at the spinning speed you quickly reach

Overall, solid entry for sure. Honestly not much my type of game, but in general seems like a very decent base for sure :3

Developer

Thank you so much!! This is great feedback!

This is a really funny game! I wish it had music though. It also feels like the child has nothing to do compared to the dad who can do attacks. This is a really funny idea though. Don't know where in the creative process you landed on throwing your child, but you made it work. Great job! 

Developer

Hahaha! Thank you so much for the feedback, when you throw the child, you're able to actually like steer him towards the enemies, but yeah i understand where you're coming from, as for the idea, it came from the idea of a parent spinning their child around in some playground! Thank you again!

What can I say but BRAIN FREEZE

I think you should expand on this idea like upgrades, different throwable objects, status effect and more

The game is good as is but with a little polish and extra features it will even better

Developer

Thank you so much for the feedback! That's exactly what we trying to go for, even different dad and child characters, Thank you!

this is a very very very cute game! Just needs good sfx when ice creams attack, and a good music track! Id build on this a bit more, it’s screaming for more levels and frozen treats

Developer(+1)

Hahaha, Thank you so much! We're glad you enjoyed, and yes you're right, we wish we had more time to polish up the game! Stay tuned!

Very interesting idea on the theme. There should be a single player mode, makes it hard when testing solo. Good game.

Developer

Thank you so much!  We appreciate it, and yes we agree, we should've focused on a solo mode, we just got used to being able to play multiplayer mode as solo! Thanks again!

That's a super interesting mechanic! I've always wanted to hit people with other people!

Developer

LOL, Thank you so much!!

Quite a fun game. Though wish I could try multiplayer

Developer

Maybe next time you hangout with your friends you can try it out! Thank youuu

Quite the fun game, though the lack of music was a bit weird.

I'm a lil confused though how multiplayer affects the experience since the kids being thrown around most of the time

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! Yeah we didn't have time to implement some simple attack for the dad when he's not spinning the child for it to be a perfect multiplayer experience.

Very cool and fun game. I love the idea of swinging your kid around to beat up ice cream. Sounds like a fever dream. I would be much more fun to play with someone else probably. Especially more fun if you play this with your dad.

Developer

Ahahahaha, thats very funny, thank you so much!!

Fun + unique mechanic! Good graphics and really serious :)

Developer

Thank youuu!!

Interesting spin on the theme, nice job :D

Developer

Thank you!!

Good fun! I wish I could try it co-op! I found the controls to be a bit awkward when playing alone, it really did feel like I was playing a co-op game alone instead of a solo game. 😅

But the visuals and audio fit together well, and it was an amazing take on spin theme. :) Very well done!

Developer

Thank you so much! We wished that we had more time testing the controls for single player so  that players don't run into that issue. Nonetheless i'm glad you enjoyed the game!

Great take on the theme, taking out enemies feels really satifying both when spinning and and after being thtow. Plays great single player, i might get a chance to try it co-op. Never figured out how to get the revive to work.  Great job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for your kind words! Let me know how it goes in co-op, also for the revive, when one of the players is down, if you go next to the player/ ontop of the player, and spin your mouse, a green bar will start filling up above the downed player, if you spin faster, the player will revive faster, and if you stop spinning the player's revival bar will deplete. Hope that helps!

Developer

If you click B,  There's a fun boss if you weren't able to reach the boss wave!

Like other people i didn't understand I was supposed to spin the kid around and throw it :D My favorite part is the combo system of the kid bouncing around and spinning him through the ice cream. ! Nice take on the spin theme.

Developer

Thank you so much!! Yeah that was an oversight from our end, you know how it usually is, thinking mechanics are self explanatory because you're the one who made them haha.

It took me a second to understand how to play, but it kinda reminds me of playing flash games as a kid. Super fun and unique.

Developer

That's so nice! I'm glad our game brought back some nostalgia! Thank you so much!

Submitted(+1)

I'd love to see where you could take this! I was a little confused how to play the game on my first run but the second time I was spinning and throwing that kid around like a ninja star!

Developer

Haha! I'm Glad you enjoyed, we will make sure to make a tutorial for players to not be confused. Thank you!

genuinely hilarious take on the theme i giggled while reading the description LOL, i truly sympathize with running out of time but your team still did a lot and though unfinished it was such a charming experience that i would be excited to see more development on should you guys choose to continue!! well done 

Developer

Thank you so much 😭😭 This genuinely made our day LOL. We were definitely racing against the clock by the end, but we're really happy the humor and overall vibe still came through despite everything being unfinished. Hearing that you'd actually like to see more of it is super motivating. Thank you for playing and for leaving such a kind comment!!

This is great. Would have liked to play this in school with the classmates.

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! Yeah we were going for something that can be enjoyed with a friend, or alone!
