Nice tight game with a good level of challenge, I found it was quite a bit easier if I zoomed out first. It would have been super cool if the face changed expression, like if you're too close to a hazard it could become 😅 or 😮. Also shout out to your dad for playtesting!

Neat mechanic for sure. The audio helped the game feel a lot, but the visuals on the big evil blobs could have been a bit tighter in regards to what I can and can't get away with. Everything felt great and there weren't any issues as well, other then a weird double death thing that I think had to do with the continued momentum of the player character after death.
Absolutely loved this game! Super simplistic while being decently challenging and very engaging.
Pretty interesting gravity-based puzzle game. The mechanic is pretty neat too, you just spin along with it!
Cool interpretation of the theme, making the levels spin! The gravity mechanic was fun once I got used to it. The music and sound really set the tone. I enjoyed that :)
A very fun puzzle game! The last level was definitely my favorite, it was quite the challenge. I love the theme interpretation also, you did a great job!
this game is SOO polished for how small it is. i love the tiny little details like how you spin when you hit a wall at an angle. it really makes the game feel like you put a lot of time and effort into it.
overall, its very fun to play. great work!
Really nice game and feels great to control. The feedback both visual and audio feels great. Lovely submission!
A really nice game carried by its art and sounds and overall atmosphere. Really enjoyable even if a bit laggy on browser (I don't have Windows so couldn't download unfortunately). Makes good use of the theme with the spinning walls, my only nitpick would be on the move controls 'cause at first I thought the character was too slippery. Took me some time to find out that WASD does not really move your character, but just chooses a direction until you press another WASD key. Fairly serious game 👍.

Next-level ambiance! The visuals are great, and the sound design is exquisite (cool floaty synths, and a really satisfying effect when you die). It definitely took some getting used to controlling the main character (which is really bouncy and floaty), but not too bad once you have it down. The level design was great, and the whole thing was a pretty chill time even though I died several times. A really great game; awesome job!
