Super unique idea - also very thematically consistent from the game jam! Got a score of 9k or so on my first attempt.

Two things I wished for while playing:

1) I wish I could fire using the mouse buttons

2) Being able to fire while moving the clock hands

3) Maybe something where I could move the hour hand? It felt really hard to use the lazer and I ended up giving up on it

Also really liked the space ships, I felt they really fit the theme of rotation and was satisfying timing the shots to hit them!

Very unique idea! It took me several retries to actually understand how to play so would be better if there a tutorial!  Great work and polish!

Using the clock handle movement is extremely unique and leads to a very fun and engaging gameplay. The art and audio are also very fitting, this is a great submission!

Really nice game, i like the concept, visual feedback and art!
It was a bit difficult for me, but it is really good objectively.

The visuals and sound in the game are outstanding. You can really feel every movement and every hit.

A very strong submission to the jam. Finally got around to playing this on stream and glad I did, though spamming z really cramped my handed, would appreciate some rebind options. Great game otherwise, goodluck! https://www.twitch.tv/nebsterlive

You can hold down the buttons, it says hold in the tutorial. Thanks for playing! Will watch later.

Ah... ouch... bit late XD Thanks for letting me know, I was doing quick fire on my stream so skimmed tutorials!

All good XD I don't blame you!

Very good defense shooter with clock controls. I’m not sure I’ve seen anything quite like this. The aiming mechanic, projectile art, and SFX fit a clock theme super well. While I think it was mostly my combo counting down, I thoroughly enjoyed this. I would like to see it with a 1:1 resolution at some point. Has a great arcade feel.

A fantastic game! The concept is quite good and in execution it is very well polished. The art is really nice with animations having a certain crunch to them that really makes every hit feel great. Music had me really focused in on what I was doing, so that's good. 

I second what others might have said regarding the speed of the clock hands in later waves. In such scenarios, I found that it was better for me to attack the enemies one by one with the big clock hand than to spend time positioning the smaller clock hand. 

I'm sure something could be added to influence the speed of the clock hands, if only temporarily. I also really wanted to move AND shoot at the same time but could not lol

Overall, great game!! :)

Excellent game. I loved how frantic/chaotic it got over time, but I feel like it's a bit too disconnected from the jam's theme. The clock hands felt a bit slow for the later waves/later in the game, it was hard to reach all the enemies in time, it would better feeling if you could quickly spam arrows to turn faster.

Otherwise it's a top of the line jam entry, the art and music fit the gameplay really well, the game feel was great and it felt just difficult enough not to be boring, but not too difficult.

loved the discord prototype, and love the game. Great Job my guy

Love the game.

Really good game that solves the usual problem with these games where you have to focus on one angle by having multiple clock hands, I could see a version with even more hands being cool (roguelike maybe?), really polished and satisfying! great work!

Submitted(+1)

The art of this game is beautiful! I love the aesthetics, and how difficult the game is! It is very satisfying to line up the hands of the clock to make a laser once it works! The feedback of doing an action is super cool!

really creative mechanic! really well made, well done!
