Blocking and striking to reverse the clock hands feels SO good. Seriously, the feel of those actions specifically is so good that I played through again after beating the boss, lol. The only issue I ran into was standing too close to the center and getting stuck on the inner purple hands as they spawned in at the start of the final phase. A nitpick more than anything (and maybe I could've dodged out of it and freed myself if I'd thought on my feet?), but disabling hit detection on the hands during that brief window before they start moving could potentially help with that. All around, great game with awesome game feel!

This is so fun! I would love to see more mechanics coming out of this game post-jam! Some ideas that you could do for your next iteration could be a parry mechanic, especially with the lightning attack! Maybe you could heal health every time you parry an attack or a wall? Either way, very excited for what you can come up with!
Maaan! what a game, looking forward to seeing this game being build post jam also!
Big fann!
very cool game really unique interpretation of the theme for this year. Would be cool if it's a fleshed out game!
The visuals (art style and juice) are peak on this one! A bit too much multitasking for my skills but the mechanics are super solid as well! Fantastic job!
The only game I've enjoyed from the game jam so far - thanks for this!
The music was so battle-like. It is hasty evasion, defend and attack at the same time. Nice work!
Almost clocked out many times but somehow still managed first try. Very fun to beat and clear in what to do!
Another badpiggy classic! Your art style is so distinct I can remember it from a gamejam one year ago. I loved playing it! Just getting better each round, very fair gameplay.
Really fun once I got the hang of it, love how elegant the design is.
Wow bro, this game is really cool, easy to get into but at the same time hard to master and use properly.
Just one fantastic boss fight!
Simple, 200% on theme with the jam and simply great. Great work!
Felt satisfying difficult!
My only complaint is I got confused a lot between which button was attacking and blocking, not sure why.
