This game is great, but the character is so slippery it's hard to play, especially to collect all coins :C interesting concept!

Submitted

Really cute platformer, especially when it was made in only a week! Gonna have to come back and try to finish (I'm kinda bad at platformers, and this one's tricky since the character is slippery)!

Submitted

nice take on the theme, great job!

I really like the style of this game! The main character is great too, and adding a blinking animation goes a really long way to make the character feel like a living part of the world! Getting launched with the canons to the next area, as well as the background hills really reminded me of playing New Super Mario Bros for the DS and Wii, so that gets nostalgia points from me [:

The movement and platforming felt pretty good, and the trail effect was really satisfying when reaching high speeds. I kinda wish that there were more bouncy mechanics, as it fits spin tops, and could add a lot of cool ways to clear certain parts of a level is designed well. I think that going for slippery movement is a nice choice, but I kinda wish it was sliiiightly less slippery, and that there was a little bit more air control :b

All in all this was a great entry and I enjoyed it a lot, nice work!!

MAN DO I LOVE PHYSICS BASED MOVEMENTUM GAMES! THE ART, THE MUSIC, THE PHYSICS, EVERYTHING IN THIS GAME IS AWESOME... IF THE RATING HAD 100 STARS I'D GIVE THIS 101/100

Really like the character design and light-hearted style!

The platforming is decently solid too.

Only thing I'm not really sold on is the theme use, I kinda wish it was more than "the player is a top" since it doesn't really impact the gameplay that much. Maybe the player could have to spin to interact with some objects?

I really like the game's vibe, and I love the main character's design! I think the movement could use some tuning. The controls feel a bit slippery, which makes the character difficult to control, and the jump feels very floaty. Overall, nice work!

This was a fun game with a surprising amount of content. It took a while to get used to the physics but once I did I was able to coast through. Good job! (:

I cannot for the life of me beat this game LOL but it is so cute! I absolutely love the design of the spin top. 

Submitted

STILL TRYING TO BEAT IT!!!! However, the controls feel honestly pretty good and feel like i am controlling a spinner, the levels are creatively made and have cool mechanics! ( though the game is real hard man i am still stuck )

A solid platformer game with a cute and very serious character. More challenging that I expected. Dunno if it was intentional but the camara kept pulling towards the top of the character, making it a little bit harder to see where you were going. Had a good time with it nonetheless. Thank you and good job!  :)
