I think this is the best "spin" the media/conversation entry mechanically! I did struggle for several tries though to get any points, until I realized how to cheese the game a bit; at a certain point I realized I could just draw big "U"s and the still hold LMB to complete the circle and group multiple articles at once; I scored over 3000! I'm not sure if that was intentional though to be able to circle groups of articles, but I don't see how scoring would've been possible since it takes several circles to resolve just one. If it was meant to be once article at a time, I think two circles at the very most if not just one circle to resolve it might have been a easier way to play. Great visuals that fit the game's theme/goal and I still had fun. Great entry!
This was one of the best I've done! Drawing circles around things is surprisingly addictive 😂I think it was also figuring out you could circle multiple things at once and that you have to circle multiple times the same thing that made me want to try again and again to be better. This game also kinda has a message about how words can be used to change the narrative, which is cool and smart! My only criticism is that I didn't have enough time to appreciate how the news were changed, but hurrying was part of the game, I understand don't worry 😂Music was also pretty cool!
Cool idea! I like the double meaning of spin here. I was drawing circles around the news but was still getting no points, so not exactly sure what I was doing wrong. Cool game!
Cool idea, but I don't understand if there is any difference in what to circle or if you have to circle all the news?
Cool idea! I had a similar one in brainstorming about rewriting horrific headlines to sound positive. I really liked the visuals and presentation of working through a computer monitor.
I found it pretty difficult to consistently circle anything, as by the time I closed my circle the stories had already moved beyond it. Maybe a slower scroll speed could help.
I really like the idea of drawing circles to "spin" the media; it's an interesting way of interpreting the theme! I like the visuals as well! Somehow I wasn't able to draw complete circles, as sometimes the drawing just got stuck mid-drawing, which is a bit distracting. Still a fun game though!
Cool spin on the theme of spin to win! A bit short but its fine, quite fun!
spin the fact/story was one of my initial ideas in the beginning, it's fun to see someone execute it out and well done!
absolutely love the game! really really fun!
Love the idea and how the "spin" keeps progressing for more favourable words rather than just fully going from 0 to 100 directly like most similar games do, was fun and challenging, the screen stretch seems to be having an issue, as when i played without making it full screen part of the game and the end (win) screen were not visible, but overall great game, amazing work ♥
The game was pretty fun and challenging, though the drawing part was kind of janky and the range was way too constricting.
Interesting idea it reminded me of Pokemon Ranger, but i didn’t really like how limited your range for the circles is here
Cool idea, great art but in my opinion its too hard (or I am bad)
I really loved your take on the theme "Spin to Win!" That, on top of an overall very polished experience made this a very enjoyable game. Awesome job!
Very fun and interesting idea! I like the art a lot! Great game!
I really liked the premise and the setting! Also it's crazy but I have some friends that made a whole game with this very mechanic in the gmtk game jam last year and founded their company on it. You can check it out here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4564690/Rootknot/?l=german
What I'm saying is that I think this mechanic has potential and I really like the direction you went with it.
Thank you so much, the game your friends made is really cool. Also do you play flute, I do.
Hahahaha no I just liked the way it fitted with the word elf :D It's really cool you play an instrument! Have you ever put a sound of it in a game?
No not yet, but good idea.
such a unique mechanic, it was fun to play! great job
I liked the idea, but I feel that maybe at the beginning it goes too fast and you don't really get it. It would be good if they increased the speed gradually. Otherwise, the music and visuals are very good!
Mechanic felt really really bad, which is unfortunate because the presentation and theming is on the nicer side! Needed a little more polish to get the idea off the ground but I will reiterate that it IS a cool idea.
Oh boy, I should NOT have played this game with my trackpad hahaha. Like others have mentioned, the circle drawing was tough and could use some love, but I thought the graphics were solid and the ideas were funny. Thanks for making it!
