Damn this game is so hard! I can't believe you started the very first level without even a backboard?? Like come on! Even in basketball they have a backboard!
Anyways, the juice with the audio and money gain numbers was very clean!

It might be a good idea to add an upgrade that helps a bit with aiming. Even if you buy upgrades in the shop, it's still hard to progress if you're bad at it like I am XD Good game!
Oh man, this is really good! Frustratingly hard, but I don’t think that’s a downside (although it pains me so much that I’m bad at it). Great take on the theme! Visuals are great, although the title screen is a little bare. Audio is good, sound effects are really crisp and make the game feel really addicting (I was playing to hear the ding bro). Overall it’s incredible. Amazing Work!
Thanks,
Glad you liked the theme and visuals, and yeah the ding audio lowk got me attracted to play that i stopped devving js to test and hear it
The menu rhene wasn't there until on last day , i only added it in case someone opened game and went to do smth , so the opening cutscene doesn't play by itself and they miss it
Veey very glad to hear you liked it,
Thanks for playing 🥰
You packed a ton of delicious juice into UI damn. Scrumptious. At least for me, this game is brutally difficult, and those prices are steep! Inflation is a bitch, I guess. Still, this game was a joy to look at, and I really enjoyed its off-kilter dialogue style too. Nice work!
Glad you liked the ui, I just tweened the rotation to either side and made it return back and tweened scale so on the y axis it tweens faster ( so it gives a stretchy look)
Yeah prices nowadays suck due to inflation and also the not-gambling place gotta win some cash yk, tuff life for broke people sadly
Very very glad you liked the ui and Happy you enjoyed the very serious dialogue
Thanks for playing ❤️
Really juicygame! I love the creativity of the spin the wheel genre and also how you executed it in terms of art, upgrades, and also a bit of lore. I find that the throwing mechanic is too unforgiving (or its just a skill issue on my part lol), perhaps a bit more things to throw before losing would make it better for me to adjust to the mechanics? Visuals were awesome and audio has a bit of juice in it! I would say its kinda serious! Overall, really polished and fun game, good work!
Super glad you liked the juice and the creativity and the art!
I apologize for the difficulty that's bad on my side, could have definetly made it easier
Yeah i should have added more stuff to throw for sure to adjust to the mechanics but i lowk ran out of time since i started on 21th sadly
The game is lowkey very serious but many people didn't reach the end after winning where u get tied to a spinning wheel for winning too much and try to escape but fail to do so and fart ( hate when that happens btw) to get pushed upwards to not fall and stuff
Thanks for playing and thanks for ur detailed comment ❤️
the game was really good the game feel and juice in it all so good. good job dude
Now this awesome. The roguelite progression was so unexpected but welcome and the juice man. This game is hard, but that juice and the lil dude just kept pulling me back in.
I spent 30 minutes playing this and didnt even finish it, amazing game and nice take on a rougelite. You should consider making a full version and publishing, nice work!
Absolute 5 stars everywhere, the difficulty is quite high (specifically that 3rd level it just kept going, maybe it could've been split?) but it's a major part of its charm, SFX are super satisfying, pixel art is great and the ending made all the tries in round 3 worth it. Would spin again. PS I think fart to win is what really happened here....
Fun game! Its very clearly an arcade game cause it is infuriating, but once you get it down its very satisfying!
great game. i really liked the unique approach to these types of games, where you level yourself up to make the game easier over time. it allows for things like challenge runs etc. the audio and visuals and JUICE are all so good in this game it's really impressive, and the story had me giggling too. i think the only note i have would be to make the amount of jumps the player has contrast better with the rest of the game. it took me a while to actually notice it so i was slightly confused when i had more jumps left etc. amazing game tho
Glad you liked my game and noticed the amount of game juice i put in the game, soo happy you liked the dialogue and story
will also take ur advice and make the number of jumps contrast more , i tried lowering opacity to make it less distracting but I'll change it afterwards
Thanks for playing my game ❤️
Wow, what a chaotic journey hahaha. This is a very neat idea for an incremental game, I think the only issue I had was figuring out that the little squares were for the grapple hook mechanic, since it had been so long since I read that tutorial text that I forgot about it entirely. The fact that it made sound and changed size a bit when you got in range helped a lot in trying to figure it out though. All of the art and visuals are super sleek, and while the button click and select sounds were a little to loud, all of the sound design was really satisfying. Also the ending cutscene was fantastic! RIP me, I made a noble sacrifice. Great job!
I take that as my fault lol, It confused some players that thought there were grappling at the beginning and 2 people didn't realize there was a grapple mechanic lol
Glad you liked the art and visuals, thanks to the note, will make button sounds lower after the jam
AND IM SO GLAD YOU REACHED THE ENDING CUZ NOT MANY PEOPLE DID
Thank you soo much❤️
Holy shit this was such a good game man ( although it made me cry ) The upgrades are so fun ( they did NOT help me with my skill issue ) I did get the hang of the game EVENTUALLY but still couldnt pass the final round. The art is so beautiful, getting more and more money was so entertaining and I love how alive and cheery everything feels. Everything is so responsive, I loved it so much!
Very nice game and good visuals! Watching the throw happen is so satisfying, but I at least struggled with nailing the aim consistently. For me, I think it's because it's hard to keep track of the ball/cube when it's spinning on the wheel. Maybe if it spun a tiny bit slower, it would be more legible?
Very hard game but once i manage to land it correctly i feel very satisfied. You did a good job to give that feeling to player. well done ^^
