awesome pixel art :)

I have to say, I LOOOOOOVE the art, sprites, and colors used for the game. I do wish the game could display how much HP each boss has though...

It's incredible to me how you get so much juice out of three colors and a couple of pixels! Really impressive, super cool!

I was confused by the name at first, but when it flipped, I was laughing

I enjoyed your game. This kinda mechanic for fighting is new to me so I enjoyed it. However I don't see any spin aspect asides from being a ball. The audio definitely needs some work aswell but I wasn't very focused on it while playing. It'd be a nice addition to add a healthbar to the enemies as I felt like I was doing a lot but I couldn't tell how close I was to beating them. Really fun game though.

This game is outstanding in every single aspect, i love how the minimap is hand drawn, the secrets and all the polish, I think something that could improve a lot the experience is a way to control you air time, like holding for a heavy bounce, or some kind of dash

My time was 6:49, it was a pretty fun experience, amazing job!

Hello! I have finished your game and I have some feedback! Some of it mirrors what others have said.

  • The pixel art is outstanding. I love the look of this game!
  • Theme feels a tad weak, I suppose you're spinning around (or, gravity is I think you said in a comment?) but it's less pronounced than some other games I've rated.
  • I didn't look at your tags or comments before I jumped in - I thought this was going to be a puzzle platformer then I got surprised by a Hollow Knight boss, lol.
  • Knowing you did this in 3 days is wild.
  • Are there only 3 bosses or did I miss one? I thought I saw someone say 4 but I might have misread something.
  • Not sure what the yellow stars are in front of the final boss room. I guess that's more incentive to come back to this game and figure it out!
  • I found a hidden room in like the top left corner of the map, but I'm not sure what it's purpose was. It looked like the same animation that heals you after a boss but since all the enemies in this game are bosses you'll always be at full health unless you're locked in a boss room. So I don't know what that was.
  • Others have said that all the bosses have too much health. I disagree! I think the second and third bosses were tuned great! The first boss has way too much health, however.
    • I didn't even know if I was dealing damage to the first boss on my first several attempts until I came to look at the comments. I see the animation for hitting him but idk, it just seemed like maybe a parry, idk. Boss health bars might be nice, or at least a different sound effect for hitting an enemy vs hitting a wall.
  • Menus would be nice. Like a pause of some sort at least.
  • This feels really good to control! You've added a lot of polish to this game, it feels like!
  • Map screen is cute! I like that it looks like the gravi-slug has doodled on it!

Yeah. I really liked this one! I've been saying on every comment I leave that I hope I don't come off as too negative, I'm trying to be constructive but I feel like I had mostly positive things to say about this one! My final time was 22:34 and I feel like at least 3/4ths of that was fighting the first boss.

Have a wonderful day and good luck in the Jam!

Thanks for the review! One thing I'll say is that the stars and the hidden room are related, so if you figure out what one does, you'll figure out what the other does as well. It's nothing interesting though, thanks for playing!

Submitted

Will say right away - I didn't go past the first enemy since I didn't understand how to slay him, I guess. But I can definitely say that controls are simple but working, color palette is beautifully matching and sounds aren't annoying! 22/25 points from me

Wow... I love this game!!! It feels insanely polished. My only nitpick is the music, since its really repetitive, but other than that this entry is amazing!

Submitted(+1)

Submitted(+1)

OMG that first boss was insane!!! i kept mashing him and it did nothign!! but i got it at the end! really cool stuf, can't believe it was made in just 3 days!! amazing artstyle!

Submitted

Good gameplay feel and combat but very hard!

Submitted

The game looks great and it's a cool idea. For me, the first enemy was too hard to beat but that could be more to do with my ability. Really well-polished game. Well done!

I thought this would be tricky to get into at first, but it turned out to be remarkably quick to pick up, which makes for a really pleasant experience! The visuals are stunning and feel consistent with the quality of your other games from what I could see, the animations are wonderfully fluid, and the sound design and music tie the whole atmosphere together perfectly. For me this is a 5/5 across the board, and it's even made me curious to check out the rest of your work. Excellent job!

I noticed this has already been mentioned, but I'll add my voice to it too: the mobs might have too much HP, and beyond extending fight length or whatever the intent might be, it risks discouraging players from pushing further into the game, which would be a real shame given how polished this project is overall!
