Loved the game and the puzzles, its really inspiring
Hope you turn this into a bigger project!
Proves how a great idea makes everything
fallspin into place. Lovely game!Easy 5/5 across the board for me! This was incredible. I love how simple the idea is and how well executed it is. The visuals are top notch, everything is super crisp and looks great with the perspective. It's so cool how you managed to keep everything readable and intuitive with such a wild mechanic.
Amazing work! The fact that the squid is called Spin brings me great joy <3
Very cool game. Idk if that is on me tho but i find the controls a bit hard
But concept fits perfectly! Great game
Fine game, good puzzles, just really not for me sadly, but looks well done
Such a nice puzzle game. I’m impressed by how well the concept and mechanics are intertwined to each other, makes it really easy to understand the game. Great entry!
A truly superb idea, Spin is absolutely adorable, the animations are remarkably clean and the level design shows a lot of thought and cleverness. Fantastic work!
This is brilliant!!! I love it, it's super clever and looks amazing. One of the best games in the jam. Design is simple but it creates really interesting puzzles. Had a wonderful 10 minutes playing it. Really, really good job
Wow, in love with Pico (used the pallette for mine) and this is was on the finest designed games I've played in the jam, so clever and so well executed, very satisfying when he goes down the hole! BRAVO 👏 More levels please 😁
Incredibly designed mechanic, I can see it being able to offer a lot more depth than it currently does and that's a very good thing for a game to have! Really well designed!
One of my favourite games from the jam so far. Really clever spin mechanic and such good puzzles that I really had to think about to beat. Excellent work. Well done!!
i really enjoyed this^^
the visuals and audio are great, i love the squid:3
This was such a charming and engaging little puzzle game! Anything made in Pico-8 already wins over my heart, but it won over my mind with its wonderful puzzle mechanics and layouts. I'll admit certain levels did stump me before realising the new mechanic it was trying to teach me (it took me too long to notice I could push objects on level 3...), but the balance between difficulty, novelty, and engagement is treaded with sophistication and without fault. There honestly feels like no need for a proper tutorial as you've clearly designed it to gradually introduce mechanics in obvious ways then twist them in ways the player might nor expect.
Its as shrimple as that.
Awesome idea, I'm in love with the octopus gear guy. Genuinely could play this for hours and I was so sad when it ended. Please make more levels!!
oh my god this is genuinely so clever i love it so much, my only complaint is that its too short this mechanic is brlliant.
considering its a puzzle game i was hesistant to keep playing at first, usually not my thing unless its super good and unique and well.. i stuck around for this one yknow? I audily went like "oooooh woww" idk something about it is just super satisfying and cool
Wowwww this is easily my favorite game I've played so far! The mechanic is so incredibly clever and you explore the gameplay possibilities so thoroughly and elegantly. There were multiple times playing that I gasped out loud at how smart the rooms were. So impressive for a game made in just a week! And the squid is so cute, I adore the art style. Really good work, you should be super proud of this and I would instantly buy this if it released as a full game later!
Ohhhh my god this is incredible, Super cohesive puzzle game with a WILD mechanic, this game puts you in situations and it's so scary when it does but the solutions are never actually obtuse, you just need to think really outside the box. Character animation is also incredibly fluid. It's rare I finish a puzzle game like this and want more but danggg there's unlimited potential with this wild gimmick. Stepping into what I thought was spikes and then turning it to the side with my little squid gears changed my life. Insane work.
Such a cute game, visuals and gameplay feel very polished! I want to play more levels of this and see more items in this art style.
Always love a unique puzzle gimmick! Great connection to the jam's theme too!
Super cool concept, feels very polished and well done. Spin the Squid is a cutie. Love to see a PICO-8 project too! I haven't tried PICO-8 yet, but I really want to some day.
