The game is really fun and creative. The graphics look great, and the movement is a lot of fun. Sometimes I got moving so fast that I completely lost control and started crashing into everything, which honestly made it even more fun. Great job!

Love this game!! I really like the blobbiness of the enemies, their animation is super well made! I like the feeling of hitting enemies and building a nice combo between lots, and the payoff of a good spin charge is pretty desirable and satisfying! Fire game!
Oh no worries! Thanks! If you'd still like to play our game though we made a web build cuz someone else wanted to play it but couldn't download - https://kevinwei.itch.io/detention-bums-web
The charge-up + run-down on the spin mechanic was cool and really kept me in the game. Fun & unique!
I've got the meta of the game, waiting for a big group of monster, and charge into them to have a great score hehehe
That girl moves fast! I really appreciated that you had both WASD & arrow keys, and the change in music after 20 combo kept me motivated to get to 50.
No problem, I am really really glad you like the music, because that is the part I had the most problems with since I just couldn't make it sound right at all with the limited software I had, which really put me down because I love music in video games and was hoping I could also make people like music in mine.
A very simple little game with a great mechanic that rewards taking risks cause the longer you spin, the faster you go and the harder you become to control. The game lacks a lot of polish, but that's to be expected for a game jam game made by a solo dev. Great game!
this is fun! very creative theme interpretation, and huge props for making everything yourself!
I think the difficulty is perfectly balanced here which is a really hard thing to get down, especially for a game jam so yeah nice work
Nice take on a survivors-like game! The mechanic was pretty hard to grasp until I read over the tips in the description - I wonder if it would've been more intuitive if Gale was always spinning (but you still only deal damage if you're going fast enough). Ping ponging between enemies at high speed was great, would've loved controller support for this game particularly, but good job with it! :D
Metagame cog 40/126
cool game, it was really fun bouncing into the enemies once i got the hang of it :) losing life for bouncing into the walls sometimes felt a little too punishing after building up all that momentum to fight.
Neat survival game. Simple and straightforward: spin and destory those who got in the way. The controls have some learning curve too. Pretty fun overall.
This game turned out so cool!!! I love all the enemy types and I still think this has one of the most satisfying spin mechanics in this jam, I just can't stop spinning!!! Spectacular Job!!
