Love the grappling hook-type mechanic and the whole presentation! Reminds me of Webbed, one of my favorite cozy games. My only criticism is that there wasn't that much spinning, mostly swinging, but it was fun.
Thank you for your inquiry. We are committed to taking our gags, goofs, and/or spoofs very seriously. Your feedback is important to us. If you have further questions please reach out, we will get back to you within 3-5 business days.
Fun take on the theme, using unusual periphery for a unicycle which is awkward to control in real life is a great idea, although different mousewheels can be quite different from each other.
Could benefit from some coyote time, but impressive for a first game!
An unironically heavy and serious game with a very cool core mechanic. Love the way you only have indirect control over your character and how it's all about conversations. I didn't entirely understand how to win though, I didn't lose any hearts and yet she still left.
At first I thought that the sticky keys activated on windows because of the sound cue when the man woke up. But other than that it was pretty neat. ^_^
Extremely serious premise with equally serious presentation. I feel like there's a lot of potential here, but the wobble is way too much, I couldn't play longer than a few minutes.

Very fun take on the theme! I just wish the music didn't restart every time you try again, maybe add DontDestroyOnLoad to the object playing the music and add it to the menu scene.
Very serious and a lot of fun. There seems to be a bug, after upgrading firing speed once my weapon instantly turned into a machinegun which made the rest super easy.
Thanks for the review! As for the BS mechanic, the arrow changes direction in specific intervals, so if you use it right before the next direction change it might not be noticeable. I wanted to rework it eventually, but ran out of time. Glad you enjoyed the theme and sorry if the sounds scared you!
If you don't spin the chart the arrow moves to the right with some up and down zig-zagging. It's easier to observe without spinning the chart at first.
The arrow tries to move to the right, with some random variation up and down. If you look at how it moves when you don't spin the chart it should be clearer.
Super cute style and fun core gameplay. My only criticism is that after some upgrades the controls actually became harder, like jumping flung me across the room after upgrading it too much.
I like the core concept, how it's more a first person spatial puzzle than a platformer, but sometimes the gravity change happened without me interacting with the levers, which was confusing, and the camera seems to drift to the right when I'm not moving the mouse.
Like others I also got stuck, there weren't enough outlined enemies and the others don't seem to take damage. Maybe rotating the player automatically and having you just press a button at the right time to hit an enemy would make it a more interesting challenge.
Lovely concept, the game show idea combined with relatively short minigames kept me playing until I got the 1 million.
The music gets a bit grating after a while, and while I like the color scheme, you really should desaturate some of the background elements for better visibility.
The concept of replacing RPG dice rolls/percentages with a wheel is interesting, especially if you can somehow manipulate the wheel. In its current state though it is hard to tell what's happening and what I can interact with.
Thank you! It's always motivating to hear from people who enjoy what I make, and this was a pretty fun project, using a lot of stuff I had learned from earlier jam games
Very fun concept, though a bit too difficult at times, but the controls being challenging is part of the fun. A map marker or arrow showing where to go next would be appreciated, it's very easy to get lost without it, and after a while my arm was physically too tired to continue playing. Still, it's an interesting challenge, reminds me of old GTAs and Micro Machines.
As per usual, I still have a lot of ideas how to add variety to the game if I continue developing it, but I could only make so much of it in two weeks.
I was debating making the orbs proximity-based instead of raycast, but for the sake of it being "self-explanatory" I wanted to make sure the player is looking at the orb to see the energy flow into it, and positioned the gate such that the lights display going up is visible at the same time. If I made this into a full game I would probably change some of that.
I agree that it would be nice to have an ending, but imo the only ending that would make sense in a game like this is a bossfight after 2-3 floors, which I didn't have enough time to implement.
Thank you! If you go near the plasma balls it should show a button prompt, maybe I should make it bigger. If you hold down that button you should see what they're for.
Very cool concept, love how the real world space is reflected on the scroll. Sometimes symbol recognition was a bit rough though, giving me walls instead of fire circles and such.
I had briefly considered simply making each weapon less effective to the opposite colour, but part of the core concept I wanted to include is a risk-reward relationship with higher level weapons, meaning a fast-firing but inaccurate weapon is technically better at taking out crowds of enemies, but also riskier to use because there's a punishment for mismatching weapon and enemy colour.
Focusing on the sacrifice mechanic seems like a good direction for future versions, a lot of commenters seem to like that segment of the gameloop "chain" ;)
As for the narrative justification, I have a sci-fi concept in mind involving hard light fabricators which would also explain your weapons magically upgrading mid-combat, but telling that story was beyond the scope of this jam entry, especially with such a small team.
Thanks for playing! I'll try to make the weapon transition more obvious, right now it plays a sound and of course the model changes, but I was considering flashing weapons white before they change.
The stun happens if you shoot an enemy with the wrong color, if it also happens at other times let me know, if so it's a bug.
