WOW! Just, WOW! I have always liked these roguelite arcade style games, and I must say, this was amazing. The music, sound effects, art style, post-processing, it's all really good. Very pleasing overall look to the game. It's super fun as well, I like getting all these different upgrades every round, and 3 bouncy axes really made it hectic and fun. I also like your interpretation of "On the edge", very unique and definitely adds to the game. The boss at the end was also really cool and well made, a little too easy, but cool nonetheless, had my heart pumping after beating level 4, the hardest one imo. The only major balance issue is the spikes, it feels a little too fast and there is almost no time to react to them, and the only technical issue (which is not your fault) is that the game lags after every scene change. Overall an amazing game! I would actually like to see this as a fully-fledged mobile game, this has a really mobile game feel to it. Keep it up!

Great work!, I feel like you didn't quite surrounded your game around the "boss" but on the edge is very present, had a great time playing it, you did amazing!
This game is so much fun! I really enjoy the mechanics of being able to flip orientation axes (great double-meaning wordplay, by the way), and the whole game - visuals, sound, gameplay - are really clean, simple, and stylish!
It's a pretty difficult game, in my opinion, and I kind of wish that there was a way to restart by level instead of from the beginning when you die, but it's a great challenge. I would definitely play this outside of a game jam!
I love the simplicity of the gameplay, I got hang of it really quickly. It was fairly challenging too, really nice job overall!
enjoyed playing ! the graphics are simple but cool , it gave a retro vibe, the sounds are nice and controls are simple, overall a great game! keep it up!
I enjoyed every bit of this game. Music, gameplay, levels, every aspect was amazing. I am currently still trying to beat it lol.
This was such a cool game, the animations are smooth, the sounds fit so well and the gameplay flows perfectly, I loved the system of upgrades and lives just didn’t see how it relates with the theme of the jam, but its all great.
I also made an pretty difficult game in 8 bits style, if you wanna check it out, its not just as smooth as yours kjkkj
Cool and fun game. I enjoyed it. Atmosphere, animation UI, gameplay. Only I would like more levels.
Great job!
This was a really cool game. Im a really big fan of downwell and can definitely see the influence. Liked the art a lot as well.
really strong concept! fun, challenging, catchy!
you really nailed it! (o゜▽゜)o☆
Neat game with a good take on the theme. Mechanic is simple, and could be extended to more complex level.
Congratulation that's a great entry !
