Really nice design! As for a font I would think that something like Comic Sans might fit better.

Allowing alt controls is an amazing way to have different difficulties, considering the short time frame! I believe using a controller would make this even more fun!

Well done!

a cool game, reminded me of old swords and sandals game! I really liked the alt controls, but mouse was also not so bad, i had fun and wanted to play till the end, not too easy, not too difficult!

I love this game! At first, I thought the spin was just a standard roulette mechanic—which wasn't bad—but then the movement aspect took me by surprise. I also love seeing how the character changes after every battle; it's so good

Haha, love the artstyle and how your character changes between runs, I love my pika pony bailarina lol.
I also liked the music! And I like how the robots just fly off the screen when you defeat em.

I enjoyed the game!

The controls were really hard to use, so I did go back to put it in easy mode, I think a big improvement for the normal controls is to make it so the one you click on is the one that'll spin, I found myself doing big circles but ended up moving the other one, and maybe placing the gears a little bit more on top so you have space to rotate when your mouse is below, not sure if I'm explaining myself.

Thanks for playing! I get what you mean about the controls. At some point I did nearly double the distance between the wheels, but I should've checked it a bit more closely. The idea to "lock" in onto one wheel at a time is a good one- I hadn't considered that.

nice game but maybe if it had fullscreen it would have been easier. However, the art is really good!

maybe it’s just me but I really struggled to punch, so I just used the machine gun most of the time. but really good visuals, and very fun gameplay !

This was awesome! I had a lot of fun until i met another machine gun arm fighter who i just couldnt beat, but i was a ballerina pikachu with a machine gun arm, incredible

Developer

Yeahh... that one's a bit hard to beat. Sorry about that sudden difficulty spike

This one is great! Super fun, super simple, the art is really cute. The audio was kinda grating, but that's the only complaint I have!

Fun game with an awesome goofy artstyle. More enemy types that require different approaches would be make the game really fun.

Love the art style and theming of the story and the use of the spin to win theme, I think the mechanics could use more depth, for example enemies having weaknesses at different body parts, or being able to destroy enemies upgrades.

I would love to see more enemy variety. The spin to win theme is really nicely implemented
