Maybe you could give it more visibility with a button to show a pop up with the leaderboard any time and changing the labelling of the button to sth. like "walk away with points". Perhaps also for the start have 3-5 made up scores by "serious" contestant's pre-filled? I think a loading indicator after you input your name and it's sending/ fetching the score would be nice. Or, like they did it in [this](https://tnagasato.itch.io/penguin-swing-jump) game for this jam, remove the friction for entering a name entirely by giving each player a fun (or serious?) random name.

Thanks for your insights! I am glad you appreciate my over the top high score :D  

With what you answered regarding the "2x on nothing" and "15p/unused spin", I must have misgauged that the numbers were not accumulating. I didn't do any exact maths, just didn't behave/ snowball like I expected it too :)
For the 2x on nothing, could it at least be that only the base score keeps doubling, not your total score of base score plus the additional 50s? 

Yeah, indicators/ counters on screen would resolve this for sure, though I also find it appealing that you have to keep track of past decisions in your head.

Thank you for playing and highlighting so clearly what could be improved :)

I am not sure if you figured out that you can throw the spinner faster by scrolling faster, or still find the max speed to be too slow (or you would get rid of the slower speeds) . In any case, the main mechanic of throwing by using the scroll wheel should have been explained better. 
I really like the idea of different throw speeds, where each has a different strength depending on the situation (e.g. close up and ranged target), but it definitely could use some more polish. I opted for a return speed similar to the throw speed as I thought it was more realistic. An instant return without any explanation or return speed faster than the throw felt off to me. Maybe a kind of lasso mechanic with visual indication where the player can decide when to quickly reel the spinner back in could work.

Love how unhinged this game is :D
I think I most enjoyed the humour and sounds :)

Wow! Incredible game! There's so much to be had here - a complete game with many levels and puzzles,  a creative use of the theme, and decent storytelling on top :)

Cool game, I like the vision. Controls - the leaning and the boost - feel really nice. The spinning propeller animation looks dope, I hope you manage to get it working :) 

Thank you so much for playing our game and giving such in detail feedback! :)
I am very happy to hear you liked the pixel art and our fidget spinner idea.  
It was our very first game jam and we frankly went for a way bigger scope than we probably should have, so we didn't get to play-test a lot. Was still a blast to make the game though :)
Will definitely try to make something smaller next time to have more time to work on the difficulty and overall enjoyability.

Thanks again!

Thanks for checking out the game :) - and thanks for the feedback! 
Volume controls and maybe a fade-in and -out effect for the music I sadly didn't manage to get done in time. The boom box can be destroyed with the golden fidget spinner item which is in a chest in the basement, the key for which is dropped by the enemy in the spire on the top right of the map. We had a lot of ideas for fun progressions but only managed to throw this together. So you at least have a little more to do than just destroying the boom box right away :)

Nice job! You did well incorporating the spinning theme as well as the seriousness. I found that the gravity concept paired with the high-speed levels made for fun gameplay :)
Some more levels would've been cool. Perhaps then the faster spinning with space mechanic could've seen some use as at least I didn't really have the need to use it. 

Thanks for the in detail feedback :)
Checked out some of your stuff - I'm very impressed with your game dev skills and creative approaches!

thanks for checking out our game! :)

Great job! Got totally addicted and went for 1 mio points xD 

You really nailed the different perks you can buy in the shop. I wonder how you came up with them - that kind of number and stats balancing, to me, seems deceptively hard to get right.

It's also nice that the area the spin lands on is proper random (or at least appears to be). I've played games in this jam where it seemed like they were calculating the outcome on some condition and then matched the animation of the wheel to it. I think it's frustrating if the wheel doesn't stop where it is supposed to.

I agree that the music is a total bop! I followed the creator and will make sure to tip them if I might use their music too :)

The 1-less-spin-to-shop perk is definitely the best perk in the game. It's good that there's no OP health perk. Only thing that could be improved is the wording for the "2x on nothing" and "15 per spin if walkout", as these actually were one-time boolean flags instead of accumulating?

Fun! Really unique mechanic :)  

Nice job! I sucked at this but it was still fun! :)

Great job! I think the license you get for playing all levels is a smart touch :)
Genius that you made drawing ugly circles a skill issue :D
Maybe a small improvement so you see more of what's ahead could be when there is no ceiling to pan down the camera more so you see more of the ground?

I really liked all the details you put in :)
I am not sure if the game has an ending, but maybe the "AI" could feed you a secret message how to escape adult life (or at least the flood of emails) or sth. :D

Thanks a lot! :)

I love this game, definitely one of my top pick for this jam! :)) Great job on the art and gameplay! 
I'm also a sucker for lofi music :D
Only thing I can think of to improve are that the interactions are sometimes a bit janky, but not in a way where it breaks the game or anything :)
I wonder if it could be fun or how it would feel if you could continuously click or hold down the mouse button to spin the chair faster and faster 

Incredible work! I tip my hat to you, this is expert level game jam craftsmanship :)

Wow! Such adorable graphics. Looks and feels really polished and professional :)

thanks, we kinda stuck with the first two things that came to our minds: the scroll wheel and fidget spinners

Thanks for the kind words! <3

Really enjoyed finishing this game! The character controller feels decent and the diving animation made  me laugh ^^

The visuals are incredible!
I feel like the selected mini game could be randomized so that different peoples contribution come up on the first spin and you don't have to play the (unfortunately) quite boring maze every time.

Impressive score! Couldn't quite catch up to you - I am green 46 :)

Very fun and addicting! :) The leaderboard definitely made this super serious >:)

Fun! 20 is the best score I could get ^^

Great game, feels, sounds and looks incredibly polished! Had a lot of fun playing :) 

Thank you so for playing and all the feedback and suggestions :) I could fix the disappearing spinner bug now, thanks! Yeah, we recorded all the sounds except the explosion sound of the boom box ourselves ^^ 

Thanks a lot for playing and for your feedback! :) Regarding the slow attack: It wasn't made very clear that you can influence how fast the spinner spins and travels. Have you tried spinning the mouse wheel up quickly/ clicking fast to throw the spinner? 

Thank you so much and thanks for the bug! 
Loosing your spinner if its in the air while you respawn wasn't intentional :)

Sorry to hear that! :/ Anything I can do on my side? Were you playing on Web or Windows?

Looks great! Hope you find time to finish it up (next time) :)

Very cool and also quite challenging!

Love the unique visuals and sound effects :)
Got a highscore of 129 ^^
Somehow I never managed to spin correctly got get to an emerald...

Great job! Super cool that you came up with a fun mechanic and even managed to make a bunch of levels :)
The serious mode is hilarious - that spider is _locked in_ :D
That Silksong reference made my day, hehe! :)

YOUR GAME... IS GREAT! :)
Music slaps, gameplay is polished, art is on point, and Junipers detached hands gesturing are hilarious :D

Applying is fun and satisfying! :)
I am curious how the endgame looks as I didn't have the time to play for very long   

Quite addicting! I am hilariously bad at "Dodge" :D
Very creative and charming art!

I got a highscore of 2400 :)
