looks super fun, just felt kinda weird to play with the controls, but i think it definitely could be awesomer!!

This looks like it could be really cool, but the controls were not for me, unfortunately. Regardless of how I used WASD, I couldn't really get myself to spin except to hit an enemy here or there. Never killed more than 2 or 3 enemies over a handful of run attemps. It wasn't totally clear to me what IJKL was doing as far as tilt goes.
This looks like it will be really cool, and I can see others were successful in spinning correctly. Skill issue/not understanding or getting things to work on my end T.T
Very fun, very responsive and juicy. Art is also great considering the short time. Even a custom capsule image. Really well done! And the genre ofc is a great pick.
Roguelikes my beloved :) First time seeing this mechanic, I like the idea of having to keep the momentum of the spin. I had quite a bit of fun getting through it after the initial learning curve. Great game.
I cracked the ultimate tactics! Definitely fits the spin to win theme well. You MUST spin or you die. Winning is the only option. Very creative movement idea! Great job!
I think the build from an hour ago made the enemies unhittable because the sword doesn't spin with wasd, mcharacter moves. OR I'm bad!
nice good job on making this game and submitting it! i def liked the idea of spinning the sword in order to destroy the enemies and the upgrades were very fun too, now the thing is that the controls felt a lil hard because the sword loses momentum too quickly which loses that satisfying feel of spinning the wheel very fast and destroying the enemies, maybe because i should've moved with JKLI keys but my brains goes "you have to move with only wasd", the upgrades could be boosted a bit more to feel that you actually made an upgrade, since you don't get upgrades very quickly here, but yeah other than that the game was alot of fun B), felt like vampire survivors for sure :)
