one of those games that you just HAVE to keep coming back to, you will IMPROVE!

addictive gameplay with great pixel art style graphics.

one of those games where you SCREAM at the screen when your brilliant chain is interrupted!

but you have to have one more go...

another really original jam entry, also with control of 2 entities.

great dynamic of having the piggy bank as a mobile platform to use

unfortunate that is the piggy gets pushed of the screen, you can't get him back on again?

sure that can be corrected, all in all, good game!

top marks for this, great addictive shooter

visuals and music are excellent, with the classic bullet hell vertical shooter gameplay to boot.

i literally kept coming back for more (need to improve my restreaming skills!)

simple but fun gameplay, well done!

i got the gameplay very quickly, would be good to expand this to a full game, as it's very short

maybe have multiple photo opportunites?

good idea

this is one hell of an addictive game, with 5000 being the target!

simple gameplay gets you hooked with lots of options for improving your score

great game from the jam host

the fizzy pop can boss is my fav!

nice depth to the scoring with the laser/medal system

enemies are original with lots of gaming based stuff (snake joypads are the best!)

superb original game once the controls are mastered!

even on a solo play i managed to get to the end.

the creatures are slow enough that you have time to get them fed/killed

thanks bud!

ha ha, my farm is calm again!
nice gameboy type look, plays really nice too.

takes me back to my amiga turrican days!

truly excellent, and an original bullet hell take on the spin theme.
so sorry i didn't rate it at the time, but a great game 5/5 all round, you deserve to win it!
i had to keep playing til i beat it, margarita

hey your game is really good!
i wasn't very good at it but i love the whole idea, with charming graphics and great sound.

good use of the spin theme.

i especially like it when you get hit that the music slows down, nice touch!

i'm afraid i haven't as yet been able to kill any boss, but i'm still trying

thanks!

i like that you would want a full game of this, and maybe in the future i would make a full game of a similar type, but for now i have to return to finishing my main game CollidEscape, a hand drawn twin stick shooter!

i do have another boss rush game that i did prior to this called Deca-Destruct, which i did primarily to learn bullet patterns, i also had fun with the soundtrack, which i won't spoil for you in case you play it?

oh, good luck with the jam!

yeah thanks!
i finally managed with this game to draw a decent looking laser beam!
i got lucky with the 'crackles' by trying out a brush effect on krita on top of a graduated glow line

yes you're right about the smaller enemies, prob shouldn't have put them in, but what the heck dude!

thank you very much.

to be fair, the leaderboard is an automatic part of a SHMUP CREATOR build.

sorry i didn't try your game in time but there's SO many.....

i'll have a go anyway

thank you everyone for your kind comments on my 1st ever jam.
i've been using shmup creator for over a year now and it's the best piece of software i've ever bought!

big shout out to all the guys and gals on the SC discord channel too, top notch support, wouldn't have been able to make a game like this without it

hi what i could play of your game was quite fun, although i'm not very good with mouse and keyboard.

unfortunately, none of the other bosses past the shop would work, they kept freezing?

anyway, i like the style and gameplay, shame i couldn't play any more of it?

here it is!

i'll try your game...

great little game, i',m so glad i played.

really simple to pick up, and addictive!

i kept playing until i got the hang of the fine line between hitting the enemy and getting walloped yourself!

have got to the 3rd boss with the boomerang thingys.

it's a very good use of the theme, my only recommendation would be to make it slightly easier to hit the enemy by either a bigger attack zone, or a longer duration, otherwise great stuff!

have a go with my little effort if you please?

ok, i was just about to try your game when i noticed the file was named shitfinity and i became suspicious, so i haven't tried it yet?
can you confirm for me please that this is your game spinfinity

not linux compatable as far as i know, sorry about that

hey thanks for trying my game star-orbit.

this is a really fun novel idea.

i'm not sure i really understood how to change the orbit very well, however i did have lots of fun with it.

i've managed to get to the Saturn type planet so far.

this game is a good use of the spin theme, use of the teleport is a must.

one thing i would say to you is......... make those planets go BOOM when they're dead!

good luck with the jam, it's my 1st time too

such a fun original game there mate!

the sound the chef makes when you kill him made me laugh my head off!

great hand drawn look and good music/sound effects too!

would be better for my with a controller, but i got the hang of it!

would you care to rate my little effort?

hi i played your game and quite enjoyed it, however there are problems with the build?
after killing the 2nd boss the game crashed and the last 3 boss links don't work?

i really like this game, very space harrier-y!

i'm not very good with mouse aiming and keyboard controls unfortunately, so i prob won't get very far, controller would suit me much better?

good comic book style graphics, like the simple but effective shoot / dash gameplay!

good luck with the jam!

cracking little game mate!

like the music and creaking sounds!

make the cursor bigger and more contrasting to the sea background though as for a while i could see the 'new game' box but i had no idea how to start it.

port and starboard broadsides would prob be better with  2 fire button, like left and right mouse button too

Hi guys, nice collaboration!

i like the 'wheel of fortune' spam spinning!

great music and visual style

quite tough but i have gotten to the last boss and i will crack it soon!

excellent game with lots of replay value and a good take on the theme

brilliant mix of knightlore visuals and atic atac gameplay and the whole 'ultimate play the game' vibe from the graphics, animation and the music.

i felt the collision detection on the enemies could be more lenient as it seems you have to be absolutely in the correct line with them to hit them and with isometric viewpoint it's difficult sometimes?

otherwise, great stuff!

great game, and thanks for allowing me to use the controller

Finished it the other night, shorter than i thought, but very enjoyable!

Well done Johan!

yeah i think it was just that, it saved fine every time last  night, back up to where i was again.

i've got a project on my profile called CollidEscape. it's a twin stick shooter made with SHMUP CREATOR and has hand drawn graphics using felt tip pins. i would love it if you can try it out for me sometime and give me some feedback, it's my first game! oh, the music is also mine

ok, maybe it was just that first time and something to do with comodo antivirus as i had to tell it not to isolate it again? i'll keep my eye on it..

oh sorry, just a win 10 pc mate

So I got as far as getting 2 of the orbs and the boomarang and then called it a night, pretty sure i closed it down with quit from the menu. then i loaded it up again to see if it said 'continue' as i did look briefly at someones playthrough, cos i was stuck, and their vid showed 'continue' or 'new game', but mine only showed new game? i started again and tried quitting on the room with the checkpoint. then i had a save game.

if i had have just closed the window down with 'x' should it still have gone to the last checkpoint as a continue?

hi johan i'm loving the game mate, just one criticism though? it wasn't clear how to save the game and as such i thought it was an autosave and when i quit i lost all my progress. i have now found out that you save by quitting on top of the 'checkpoint's in the game

in that case, consider it a done deal

Great Johan!

One More question, can i use an xbox one controller?

hi, i'm a bit new to this but your game looks great so, is it a stand alone game or do i need to buy and install this pico-8 thingy first please
