Pretty cool and short game! My only issue (or a nitpick) is that there isn't so much to be done here. Maybe if the player had the ability to jump over spikes or something (or change floor levels) to avoid obstacles, this could be interesting resource/time-management game, where you need to constantly keep your speed high enough, so you don't run of time, aim and shoot, so you don't die and also change floors/levels to not run into spikes/vines/trees/anything

Particles and tweens were really good though!

Developer

Thank you so much for the detailed review. As this is the first game jam we have participated in, we couldn't scope really well and the engine was also new, so learning the engine and making the game was a bit difficult and we had to cut few things like jumping. In the next versions of the game we will try to integrate the obstacle mechanics and the different levels.

Fun  little game! Very unique take  on the spinning theme. I think the mousewheel, while initially unintuitive, does feel good to use to spin once you get the hang of it. I was confused at first about what to do as  I missed the controls text in the description of the page, I'd recommend highlighting the controls more if you could. Other than that, great job!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing, and for the suggestion. We will take that into consideration and modify the controls section so it is more prominent.

Neat art style, especially for the design of the multilayer forest! I was able to beat the game on my second try. I did find it a little odd that the evil plants, the flying robot, and my bullets could shoot through the floating platforms the plants sit on. Some sound tweaks could include a sound design for when you spin the bike gear and a small death sound effect when you lose (like the dramatic one from the old Super Mario Bros (NES). It would also be nice if there were an OST while playing. Even if there's only one level, this is pretty complete! Awesome sauce! :)

Developer

Thanku so much for the constructive feedback. We had to reduce the scope a lot due to bugs and the sound got bugged out too. Will be working on music and fixing the bullet issues in the later version.  :)

best one i had in my rating queue, very nice visuals and original movement mechanic. Kinda easy to cheese if u just go full speed and shoot robot thingies, but we all know balancing difficulty while making game in 7 days aint easy
