I had lost all hope. I thought games would never be good again. Then, as though descending from the very heavens, came Spin the Rock. 

With its liberal borrowings from a diverse number of classical works, Spin the Rock brings a new, more philosophical approach to game design. It includes a truly star-studded cast, encompassing such talents as Dwayne the Rock Johnson, Donald Trump, and Narendra Modi. The game embraces both the old and the new, with classic NES tropes being perfectly mixed with modern gaming conventions in a way no one except The Dev could ever be expected to pull off.

But what most strikes you while playing is the sheer seriousness of the game. The game is utterly devoid of that whimsy which so dominates modern games. It chooses, at every moment, to take the protagonist and the player he embodies seriously. The game features several interconnected story arcs that ultimately coalesce in a conclusive conclusion. Spin the Rock is an uncompromising portrait of the American Dream and the way it affects the hearts of the many. The game's commentary on our current society, while in tune with the realities of today, will prove to be truly timeless.

This is a game people will remember for centuries. Bravo! Bravo!!!!!

you know what sure, the gameplay is actually pretty nice for a seemingly memey game, a foddian climber game where you can spin your arms is actually pretty unique, and turned out pretty fun!, it was weird though how my left click corresponds to my left hand and vice versa instead of the opposite, thats just a nitpick though, for actual feedback i guess more fx and better polish?? but that kinda goes againts the style of the game.... Anyway! good job!

Good use of a spinning mechanic. Seriously funny.

This is the kind of game where you start playing and ask yourself, "Why am I playing this?" You keep asking, "Why am I *still* playing?" And later on, you ask yourself again, "Why can't I stop playing?" CONGRATULATIONS!
