That's a creative idea, works well, progress clearly indicated in the style of play too!
This was super unique! Once I understood what was happening, I found it to be pretty fun! The circle controls spun my brain out a little so I kept to mostly just spinning in one direction (ha). I'm very impressed with your idea, I think this is an awesome take on the "Loop" theme :)
Thanks for the feedback!
Neat game! I like how the natural consequence of moving closing on a smaller ring is the game gets harder. It got tricky to dodge some attacks on the final one. Great concept!
Cool little game ! I would have loved to unlock power ups from time to time, maybe the target can aim it at us to force us to pay even more attention to it !
Nice job! The controls were a bit confusing, but I really like the idea of shifting layers. Congrats on your submission :)
Overall: ★★★★☆
Creativity ★★★★★
Love the interpretation of the theme and overall radial movement is rarely explored. Great work!
Enjoyment★★★★☆
I loved it especially side mode it was a literal BLAST. Few things that made it not 5/5:
- I think keyboard controls dont work that well for the radial movement (limitation of GJ i know..). Analog stick would allow for smooth movement and native transition between orbits via direction (is vector pointing to inner or outer circle, is vector more aligned with clockwise \ counter clockwise movement)
- Making it a bit more clear what I need to do to proceed, I understood that I need to hit an enemy, but number of hits \ other conditions were not clear
- Would love a bit more challenging levels from the start

Artwork ★★★☆☆
Simple but works beautifully for this game, love the background. VFX are clear and game feels polisheed
Audio ★★★☆ ☆
BGM is nice (though I would prefer something a bit more calling to action), SFXs are actually great, missing a bit of SFX for interactable objects. Voiceover is cool!
Thanks you much for the feedback! Yeah it definitely feels like a controller game but I didn’t bother doing controller support since most people would probably be using only keyboard
Really nice game, fits the theme well, but it took a lot of time to figure out how aim and how the controls worked.
Music was great.
Thank you! I’m a bit disappointed because I figured it would be hard to figure out so I made video tutorials imbedded in the game but couldn’t get it to work in the HTML version and didn’t have time to create a entirely new tutorial but oh well.
