What do you mean I can pet the cat? Lmao. A decent clicker in a pleasantly coherent package, though I wish the lo-fi beats to get a heat stroke to played for longer than 14 seconds ;-; I was not used to the upgrade requirements descending, but it was offset by making them progress linearly and giving notifications. I had fun!

I liked the twist and reverse type of incremental, sometimes problems with clicking on the phone, but it's rather a minor minus

Spinning NewsFun incremental (or, I guess, de-incremental) game!!
Enjoyment: 4/5
It's mostly a clicker game, with a kinda rough start which then smoothens out and kind of ends up finishing a lot quicker than you'd expect. I like the addition of environment-related trivia questions though!
I feel like having the upgrades give a more "visible" output would be good. sometimes you don't really understand what an upgrade did until a while later.
Creativity and Theme: 4/5
I guess the fan spins, and that's the main focus of the game, but there could've been some more direct spinning involved imo. Still not bad :D
Visuals: 3/5
The art is alright, I just feel that the visuals could use a bit more polish. Everything feels a little stiff, but, again, it's really not that bad.
Audio: 3/5
Same as the visuals, it's okay but i feel like you could have more going on with sound effects, but it's alright.
Seriousness: 5/5
Global warning is indeed a serious topic.
FINAL RATING: 3.5/5
It's a cool little project, but I feel like it could use some more work. Still a very nice and relaxing entry! :D

SpinChestrionMost clickers are just boring to me but this one was kinda fun. Pretty satisfying "Numbers go down" game about a fans, fans of the fan, and child labor. Visuals are nice, audio is pretty much just sfx mostly, I am overall glad to have stuck around for like 2 minutes to finally see the fan spin faster and faster, and then got fired ig? Very serious game of course, no doubt on that.
This game is quite cute, and I love the concept of it! I enjoy the fact that there's trivia questions, although they were a little tough for me haha. The upgrade system felt weird though, I would like it if I got to choose an upgrade instead. Overall, neat idea and quite polished for what you have, but could've expanded on the mechanics a bit

CAVESPINWhat a charming game!
It’s a shame the kitty becomes useless towards the end. Because of that, I had to treacherously stop tapping him :(
I also would have liked a bit more gameplay. I was hoping the game would follow the path of "Universe of paperclips" and we’d cool down the universe!
But for a game jam, it’s a good game.

Devil's ShowMy plan was to go further and freeze the earth but alas I was stopped by unemployment

spinning casinoCute fun little clicker! Mandatory pet the kitty bonus points. I think some of the temperature unit conversions were off though I’m too Fahrenheit pilled lol. I do agree with another commenter that a little extra something to do would’ve pushed this this to be pretty great.

Spin DoctorProbably the most serious game in this very serious game jam. I feel like another commenter pointed out the one thing I was expecting, maybe some color change of the background based on the heat as a visual feedback.

This Experience Cannot Be Canceledi really liked the visuals and the biology questions. it feels a bit empty or that something is missing maybe a little bit more polish would do the job. nice game
