I liked it a lot, I struggled with the controls though and couldn't beat level 2. The between match scenes were my favorite, I think you should lean more into surreal storytelling, get real weird and Lynchian with it!
haha thanks dude!!! yeah i kinda ramped up the difficulty because because a lot of people were finding it too easy. And ofcourse, always on the weird stories side :)
It's hard to describe this game in words other than cinema. Controls were hard to understand at first, but after that it was very enjoyable. The mechanic of managing attacks and health along with the rythm game was very neat.
Yo thanks dude!!! Based :D
Note: I played the web version so it may have been updated, as I see it has a download now

Overall, hilarious and fun game, would play again, but don't know if it actually follows the theme
thanks for the feedback!! there are some bugs definitely, i spent a lot of time developing and changing ideas so had very less time polishing things. The egg spinning basically is the main mechanic. Your health is basically how much spin you have, once you start losing, you lose spins as well
Very fun! Took a second to figure out how to do the rhythm while attacking but once I got it and figured out I could take a break from tapping it I got a lot better. Loved the story and the music. I didn't necessarily see the theme connection but very fun
About the theme, the eggs are spinning!!! And the spinning is the health. So that is the connection. Thank you so much for playing.
Ohhhh that makes sense
music is super good!!! definitely a highlight. also appreciate leaning into that comic-esque narrative with not so clear backgrounds and funky dialogue bubbles.
gameplay was quite conceptually interesting imo, having to basically play two mini games at once and the visual effects (love the 2d bonks!) made it one of the better beyblade-likes in the jam. for sure wished i could have used A/D more though (or was taught how it worked!). also the last level against 3 enemies hid the health and boost bars as well as only let me heavy attack once throughout the whole thing?? definitely drew out the whole match and outlasted rather than defeated the 3 enemies. which was a bit of a shame with the repetitive button pressing and it being the very last level.
also to be honest i have no idea how the story ties into the gameplay but i love it. super stylistic, very serious. nice game!
Thank you so muchhhh!!! Yeah i just made the story around the gameplay so it is upon you how you imagine it. Kind of an abstract story you can say lol. About the last mission, i had no time to implement the health bar of 3 opponents, so i had to kinda disable it. disabling both of them kind of makes it more immersive in story wise but idk man. i had to rush a lot of things.
I didn't realize I was supposed to leave my comment here so I will repost my comment from the actual game page.. This was kinda funny. Game play is a bit frustrating in my opinion. Really good soundtrack and overall presentation was decent. I was entertained.
thanks dude!! yeah i kinda ramped up the difficulty cause a lot of people found it too easy :(
Makes sense, I'm kind of a light weight to be honest. After playing a few more games I gave you another star for enjoyment, cause I feel that's fair.
