Interesting take on the theme, being the spinning cheerleader. Cool pixel art, and the game is pretty challenging too. Still, nice job!
Music is a bop and a half! Great job!
Haha thank you so much! It is definitely a piece I'm really proud of making. Hope you had fun playing! :)
looks great, as others have said its a little fast to get the foam hands, they seemed to reset my spin. Nice entry that’s unique
Thank you so much for playing and the feedback! Yeah the fall speed in particular could've been capped I realized after the fact. The foam fingers resetting the spins was intentional for those that may rely on them a bit more if they couldn't spin fast enough manually, but I understand the concern about it interrupting the momentum of manually spinning. I hope you had fun at least! :)
Cool game! I like the arcady-style!
Arcady-style was definitely what we were going for! Thank you so much for playing! :)
I loved the concept, really fresh take on the theme. Graphics were terrific too! Took me a few jumps to figure out how to land properly, and sometimes I crashed even when I thought I did a good job. I'd love to see this developed more, I could see it becoming an awesome full game.
There is a very particular area set up that is about the edge of the stadium that checks if your landing is safe or not. A couple others suggested a fall speed limit and I think it would help squeezing in those last second spins since you fall pretty fast right now! Thank you so much for playing and the great feedback. I hope you had a fun time playing! :)
really unique take on the spin to win idea!
I loved the pixel art graphics and the simple nature of the game.
Only thing i would change is to make the falling a bit slower, right now its very hard to pick the gloves.
But very fun and pretty nonetheless.
Ah yes, a fall speed limit was something that someone else commented on and I agree it is a good idea that I hadn't considered before! Thank you so much for playing and for the great feedback! I'm very glad you had fun playing! :D
Very challenging game, but cool idea. The pixel art looks great!
It is definitely meant to be a tough one, but I hope you still had fun! Thank you for playing and the positive feedback! :)
Cool game! It was very challenging to get through the last level but i liked that. Art and music were amazing too!
The last level is definitely a test to your spirit spin skills! Haha Thank you so much for playing and the positive feedback. I'm glad it sounds like you had fun! :)
This is challenging but quite rewarding, It's a creative idea and definitely well made, looks great aswell!
Really appreciate the positive feedback! Thank you for playing and I hope you had fun! :)
Great game! I loved the art! I found the spinning mechanic very difficult but I believe that was intentional, so no notes there. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for playing and the positive feedback! Yes it was definitely intentional, but I hope you still had fun and got some good spins! :)
I only managed to get through the first level. After that, I just kept losing over and over again. 😢😢
Thank you for playing! The game is meant to be challenging, but it might not be for everyone. If there's anything you think that would help, please let us know! I hope you still had fun! :)
awesome! it kinda reminds me of those old flash games like kitty cannon or something but sneaking in a last minute spin is so satisfying good job :D
OMG That is so funny that you mentioned kitty cannon (I loved that game growing up) because this was originally going to be gory if the player didn't land safely... we had it all planned out and then we doubled checked Juniper's rules and it mentioned no gore so that was totally scrapped, thankfully we weren't far into the gore development at all LOL Sneaking in the last sec spin is the best feeling for sure. Thank you so much for playing, I'm very glad you had a fun time! :)
I won on my 10th attempt! I really like the game! The visuals are good and the music is well done!
Ayeee that's really good! Thank you for playing and appreciate the positive feedback! :)
Incredible little game! But wow, maybe this is a skill issue, but this was hard! Despite the fact that I think there's no chance of me ever beating this game, it's one of my absolute favorites of the jam. The sound design is incredible (the music is perfect, and that *splat* sound when you miss a landing... 🫤), as are the graphics. Gameplay is really fun, too. Simple but very replayable. Fantastic work!
Wow that really means a lot to us! Thank you so much for playing and the positive feedback. We're very happy to hear that you had a really fun time even with it being challenging. Thank you again! :)
Love the integration of using both the game window and itch.io pages!
My daughter and I had fun playing your game! It’s very exciting and she couldn’t help but cheer upon landing. The music and animation was captivating. What a great concept for the theme.
This is the best kind of comment we could've hoped for. This is what it's all about. This really warms both of our hearts. Very glad you BOTH had fun with our game. Thank you for sharing!❤️
I really enjoyed this, I think it's a really nice mechanic to try and spin as many times as possible without messing up the landing. Great job on this!!
This required SO much coordination haha it was great! I also really appreciated the difficulty curve automatically adjusting if you had a few failed attempts, that was a very nice touch.
Such a simple concept but it was so much fun to play, really great submission :)
Very glad you had a fun and great time playing! Haha I have to be honest and say that the range minimums per round are just set randomly so you must've gotten some good odds! But I do think that's a great idea though! Lol Thank you so much for playing and for the positive feedback! :)
Oh lol then the RNG on the range modifier was somehow perfectly tailored to how well/bad I was doing :D
Lol! 😎
This is the first time in a long time I've seen cheerleaders pirouette thru the stratosphere 🎆
Clever idea and challenging I will also go put my forearm in a bucket of ice 🪣🧊.
The ambience and environment was well setup, the pixel art and music have immersed.
This would make for a cute mobile game!
Thank you so much for playing and the positive feedback! I sounds like you span your heart out in the stratosphere, kudos to you! Haha Very glad you enjoyed the experience. :)
cute little game. gameplay loop is short but quite well challenging. my fingers hurt but it's worth it hehe ^^
Thank you so much for playing! Challenging, but fun was what we were aiming for! Hope you had fun and have some ice for your fingers! Haha
