Fun concept, the controls took a bit to nail down, i think the controls would be a bit more responsive if the mouse couldn't leave the play area of the game. Otherwise, this was I like the concept and would love to see this refined! Excellent work!

The concept is very nice, but it is very hard to get the hang of the mechanics in this game. Controlling the spin speed was really hard at first, but overall, it was a fun game.
A REALLY cool concept and control scheme. Took me a minute to figure out how to control the character, but once I got the hang of it, it felt quite nice to 'fling' the character at breakneck speeds. However, the fact that the walls bounce the character really throws off the trajectory since it's very difficult to actually aim with enough speed in the first place. And then the character just bounces off the wall and falls all the way down. Overall a very unique entry. Do check out my game too!!
Tbh this one got me pretty hooked for a hot minute. The spinning mechanic is a bit hard to control but I feel like with some tuning it could be really strong. I felt just in control enough while playing that I thought if I kept at it I could get good at moving the character around. The space theme and sounds were also very pleasant. Good job getting this one in!
Interesting game! I really liked the visuals and the way you used the spinning mechanic. The wheel was a little difficult for me to control at times, but I still think it's a nice approach to the theme. Great job, especially for your first completed game project!
Man, I just cannot figure out how to control this character. I'm trying to turn the arrow and drag my mouse, and it just feels like it's moving all over the place in ways I can't predict. Apologies if I overlooked more detailed instructions on your page, but I could really use a video guide to see how someone else plays it!
It took me a little while to fully grasp that the length of the arrow correlated with the speed of the spinner, but got there in the end. (It helped a lot when I realised the arrow always starts looking up when you click on the spinner) Really enjoyable when I got into it, amazing job for a first game especially!

Definitely needs a "play in full screen mode" warning. If you play in the browser without that, it's impossible when the mouse leaves the game area. Fun once I figured that out.
This was fun! I really liked the difficult platformer gameplay, even if it was difficult. Felt a bit finnicky sometimes, but I guess there’s not much you can do about it when it’s a spinning wheel, but yeah it was great!
Congrats On Finishing Your First Game !!
Although the game was slightly unplayable because the web window size was too wide and i couldn't see the wheel in my first playthrough the concept itself is nice and goes well with the theme
one thing is that the audio was very laggy i assume its because the window resolution is too high for my device
overall nice concept. for your first game this is cool and keep it going !!
