A really could concept. I kinda found it a little hard to pick up but eventually got around to it.

I thought the spinning mechanic itself was creative and well-implemented, though I found it hard to focus on the gameplay and the story at the same time. The art was nice. Kudos for tackling difficult subjects in a jam game.

Very nice idea, but the thing of spinning the disc and reading was not really easy. Lovely visuals, maybe a controller for the volume would have been nice. Maybe an ending screen to help recognize when it ended would have been nice too. Still very cool concept, keep writing and creating

Really creative! I love games with a deeper meaning, it‘s a really nice experience :) I would love to see more games like this!

What a creative concept. Super easy to pick up and the audio and art are super polished. Nice job!

Finch in a pinch was a cinch! It scratched that itch and I would not leave it in a ditch even if I was threatened by a strange man in the middle of the night in a back alley with a knife, saying "do it for the women and children's lives" and then he put the knife closer to my neck, forcing a bead of sweat to roll down my face, as it sinks deeper into my skin...



Great game!

Thank you for the content warning. I get migraines and a jarring audio warning is much appreciated.

It was poignant; I love the visual and the switch while spinning and not spinning and overthinking.
Thank you for sharing; that was a very good experience.

The visuals are awesome, the little fella is also very cute! It was hard to read while trying to keep the disc at the same speed but I got the gist of it. Very cool entry!
