This was so good! The animation! the art! the music! they work together to make a super cute game! I just had problems understanding how to get the ball to be correct, I did rotate it, but I didn't understand how to rotate it correctly. but still! I had fun and enjoyed it even though I didn't get too far.

Great job!

(also it would be cool if you could check out my game too :) https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-6/rate/1176871 )

The art style of this game was amazing, it's a perfect blend of fun and chaotic! Adding more items in while trying to focus on the spinning and clicking is absolute chaos! Great game idea! The music had the circus vibe. UI's and instructions were extremely clean. Very polished game

Developer

Thank you so much, I'm happy you like it!

As someone who is learning to type without looking at my keyboard this was really nice :)

I absolutely love the art style, it feels super cozy. That combined with the music just put a huge grin on my face. I couldn't help but giggle the whole time I was playing. It was a bit hard to multitask but that added to the chaos. If anything I would have put the UI elements closer. Despite that I really liked the game 10/10 I'm book marking this page for sure.

I love the art style so much. At first, I thought it was very easy but it became challenging juggling multiple things at once. Very chaotic! Good job to the team!

Developer

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the game!

The art and music are very charming; I really like this game's presentation. The gameplay also gets very chaotic as more elements are added. Very polished for a game made in a week.

Developer

Thank you, I'm glad you find the art charming! Definitely gets more and more chaotic :3

Good theme and art! I would really love to see the character drop off the ball when you lose, just for the fun. Great job!

Developer

Thank youu! Haha yes, that would be so cute !

wow the circus is a chaos , good choice for the theme. 

I'm having a problem where when I press the letter keys, nothing happens. I push the key several times when a white square appears around a letter on the screen, but nothing happens and it says miss.

Developer(+1)

Ah, that's weird! I'm not able to reproduce the key presses not working ... is it possible the game window became unfocused? 

Submitted(+1)

its was probably that, i tried again this time and it worked. Your game is really fun bro. 

Submitted(+1)

Really good artistic choices dude, really good job !

Developer

Yo thank you ;-;

So professional art. A masterpiece! 

The control fits the theme. But it's too hard for me.. It's quite difficult to look left and right at the screen at the same time. that's impossible.

The vibe is so enjoyable. I have practiced several times. 

Developer

Thank you, I'm very glad you enjoyed the art! Yes the game can get quite difficult haha

Developer

It was definitely on the hard side for sure,  it's easy to forget your game is difficult when you play it so much during development, haha. Thanks for the feedback!

Really enjoyed the concept of balancing all the different things on the screen.

Developer

Haha thank you!

Nice. The theme is done perfectly here. I like the art style. I got overwhelmed very fast. Good job.

Developer

Thank you! So happy you enjoyed!

The art was very unique. I really liked it. I liked the way you setup the controls. It was very responsive.

Great job.

Developer

Thank you very much!

Great Art Style! I would make that you can play in 1920 x 1080 so its fullscreen in WebGL

Developer

Yess definitely need a fullscreen to enjoy all the art !

Nice concept and I like the art style!

Developer

Thank you!!

I love the art style to this. From the first zoom into the curtain, to the penguin balancing a spinning plate, it looks gorgeous! 
Music is nice too, circus feel thematically, but with a good twist.

What the game asked of me though was to much for me :D. 
I can do hitting keys at the right time,. but then having to click a ball at the right time on the opposite side of the screen, couldn't do it. And i tried several times.
This might have been better staged/staggard out a bit more. 
Key pressing round. Ball clicking (etc) round, and i assume spinning round. Or if combined, more spacing out at first between what was required. It ramped up far to quickly.

But still overall, very well done team, great work!

Thank you!! I'm glad you like the art and animations!

Thank you so much for your feedback, it means a lot to me :)!

One of the first things we wanted to do but ran out of time for was space the spinner and the clickable buttons so that they would be separated to make it a little easier, so definitely agree that it would have been better a bit more staggered.
