This is a cool game, but I learned that it could get either really difficult or really easy. I might just be a gamer and got this insane score + wheel layoutEven though the wheel was spinning insanely fast, it was really hard to hit the bad spaces lol. It was a very fun game though. It seemed polished and the music is good. You did a great job! I wish you luck with the rest of the rating period!

Hey great game! Out of all the games I play tested this was one that definitely stood out to me. Probably a mix between the cute art and animation for the mouse and for the funny idea. It's also cool seeing the "Press r to restart button" and knowing I influenced the decision to put that there! The thumbnail also looks really well made with the classic stock market arrows! Great job! I wish you and your game luck during this rating period! 

I love the idea of this game, and you definitely cooked on the thumbnail. I just wish there was music/sfx. I feel like that would add so much to the game. I would also love to see a tutorial, even a short one as when I first started playing, I thought the objective was to spin the blankets to keep the food away and not to shoot at the enemies. This is a really original take on the theme. You cooked with this one. Wishing you luck with the rest of this rating period. Great job too! 

This is a cool idea! I like the design choice of making the level spin instead of a ball that spins. I do agree with the other review and think that some juice could help the game a lot. The collisions for any level with a box was also a bit weird as they could clip through walls, making some levels impossible. Like this level here:


I didn't know that there was a reset button, so I reset the whole page lol. Should consider adding a short "R restarts the level" in your game description. You did a good job making this game though! Especially in two days it can be a bit stressful. Congrats to being able to submit a game though.

Wow this is really well polished! It's a fun game and the shaders add a lot more to the atmosphere. The art is really well done too! Also, how did you manage a team of over 80+ people!? That seems like an insane amount of chaos. This is my first jam, so I have never worked in a team before, but I heard that even a team of four people is hard to manage. You must have had a lot of ideas and disagreements. It must have worked out in the end since you were able to release this amazing game! Great job! 

That fixed it! Multiple people can now ride at once and the increased spawn rate makes it, so you don't need to wait a really long time to get riders. I also like the little + and - sign as an indicator of whether people liked the ride or not. I updated your games rating! Good job!

This game is really cool! Short but cool! I can confirm that there were no lasers but only concentrated beams of light. The puzzles were easy to understand but still a bit challenging. I also think that the patterns on the wheels visually telling you if you can rotate them or not is a really nice touch. Its small details like these that make a game feel polished and fun. You did a great job making this! 

Hey! I'm glad I found this jam entry because I really wanted to rate it during the playtesting period! I loved to see how much this game has evolved over the 7 days. I find it funny how another wheel has made its way into the game. I feel like I remember when there was only one! I also love the addition of the minimap. Helps me find that last enemy a bit easier. The voice acting is 11/10. It's so good.  I also have no idea how you turned the theme spin to win into a spinning trial by combat law game, but it is super original. This is such a fun game, I'm really glad I got at least one more chance to play it. Great job and good luck with the rest of the rating period! 

This is just as good as I remember it being when I play tested it. I'm still just as shocked that you were able to make this in scratch. If someone can make a good game in scratch, then they definitely have a hidden talent. Glad I was able to find this game again to rate it! Great job and good luck with the rest of the submission phase! 

Thank you so much!! Saying my game has great feel means a lot from the creator of the game with the best game feel I played so far! Again, thank you so much for playing!

Thank you so much for this feedback! Saying my game might go viral is so nice, I really appreciate that. I'm guessing your smart toaster was dying because of the crt shader? As cool as I think it is I might have to add a setting to allow people to disable it. I'm also glad you like my pacing. I tried to put a lot of thought into that since I heard puzzle games are risky for jams. Thank you so much for playing! 

The fact that you compared my game to portal means so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for playing! 

This is a really cool game, and the boomerang was really fun to play around with! The only thing was I wish there was more content. I still feel like it was a really fun short experience though! I see a lot of people would like to see this game idea expanded. I am now one of those people. You did a great job creating this!

Awesome game! I love the attention to detail with your particles. It makes the game feel really well polished. The unusual screen resolution also makes this game stand out from others. Whenever a new house spawned my game did lag for a second. Also, for your game description, whenever you use a capital bolded C it looks a lot like an O due to the font. Just a little thing I thought was worth pointing out. Overall, this game is really cool and well-made and polished. You did a great job creating this! 

This is a unique game! I had the issue where when I started the game the fan got stuck but after two resets it decided to work for some reason? The puzzles were difficult to figure out what to do next. I could figure out what to do up until the cute fox slept under the tree. After that I tried dragging everything everywhere but couldn't get anything to work. Losing stuff behind the bush in the bottom right was a bit annoying but it was a nice feature that you respawned the objects after a period of time. I feel like if you add a simple hint system like making the required object for the level glow or something similar this would be way more enjoyable. You did a good job making this though! 

It's a very interesting idea but you can definitely feel it's not polished. I had no idea what the spinning ball was for until I hit the boss with it and then I had no idea what the colors meant. Maybe a short tutorial or even text in the description of how to beat the boss would be nice. Good job on your first game though! It is a very difficult thing to accomplish, and you should be proud that you even submitted something! Being able to submit your first game is a win on its own. 

This is a cool game but there is this one bug that makes it possible for you to spawn on the yellow doorways which flashes the screen black again takes you to another room where you also have a chance to spawn on the doorway and repeat it. I also didn't know that there was crafting until I read the comments. Also, I think the fan at the start definitely does not need batteries and has an unplugged power cord lol. I also think a floor counter could help a lot as I kept forgetting which floor I was on. You did a great job on your game though! Congratulations. 

My res is 1920x1080. Hope this helps you figure it out. 

This is amazing! The music was really good (but some of the tracks seemed to vary in volume) And I loved the art style. I feel like the easy difficulty is a bit too hard but that could be a skill issue for me. I just kept mixing up the controls even if there were not that many. You did a good job making this. It was really fun.

The controls feel way nicer now and the audio works! There is a new issue where I can't see the progress bars for the desktops, and I can't see the amount I need to complete the day. I updated my rating though.

Woah this is awesome for a game made in a week! The only issue I had with it was I never had any real reason to spin the rings enemies were on since they spawn at the same level and will stay in the same position relative to each other. Other than that, I really liked the game, and I think it is really original. I would love to see more abilities and combos in the future. 

You did a good job creating this! The only things I found is that the upgrades are a bit cheap, so it was easy to spam buy them, the sound effect for mowing the grass was a bit too loud, and if I pushed escape then the game would crash and need to restart. Like the other person said: if you put a little more polish and juice I think this could turn into something really fun. 

What do you mean that's not a beaver lol. I feel like some audio would really help wrap this game together. Also if you click to spin the wheel and you don't have enough it still takes away your valor into the negatives. 
Had to do it a couple times to make sure I wasn't crazy that I was going into negatives lol.

This is a really interesting take on the spin theme, but I just wish there was a bit more to do. I feel it would be more fun if there would be upgrades or something you can buy with your money. I also wish there would be more than one person riding the carousel at once. If there was more to do I'm sure this would be a great game

This seems like a really interesting game but I'm having a hard time keeping the light on. No matter what I try and do it seems to go out really early. I didn't know there was a cranking mechanic until my third death, but when I spin the character, it only makes the cranking sound, and the light doesn't get brighter or stay at the same level of brightness. From what I played though it seems really cool and I really like the environment you have set up. 

This is a really fun game! I love the additions of the trains and ufos since I play tested it. You did a really good job with polish, and I think your idea is really original. You should be really proud of this! Great job!

This is a very fun game. I love all the minigames and they are all super quick to learn. This type of lore is definitely something I would expect from a super serious game. Congratulations on making this! You did a really good job. 

This is a cool idea but it's a bit buggy. I noticed that the mouse did not match the location of my real cursor so there were times where the custom cursor was in the center of the screen, but my mouse was outside of the play area. I also did not have any audio either. The game was also a bit difficult to spin the browsers even though I was moving my mouse in a circle. I think this has the potential to be a really good game, but these few bugs are holding it back a lot. 

This game is so good! The word combinations are sometimes so funny. It feels like a really well polished game, and I'm surprised you were able to fit achievements in too! 
The copy score button is really smart too. Gives people an easy way to share it. Great job making this!

This is a very fun game! I just wish that there was a way to pause the spinning while I bought items since I couldn't read the descriptions. I also think that it would be cool if you could add a quick spinning animation for each time you spin. Otherwise, this was a really cool game! Great job! 

I feel the exact same way! 

I started learning game development a little before the announcement for this jam was made, so I thought that this would be a great first jam to join and that it could give me the motivation to actually finish my first game. Before this jam I had a bunch of little unpolished games with developer art that I gave up on rather quickly. When I did make my game public, I only hoped to get at least one or two comments. I would have never expected how friendly and creative this community is. All of the kind feedback on my game has felt so unreal and I have been loving every step of the journey. Seeing all of the other entries is definitely intimidating but there are so many other first-time jammers or first game completed that it makes me thankful that Juniper decided to host this jam. Both for giving me the motivation to be able to finish something I created, and for giving other people the opportunity too. I have loved being a part of this community and as tired as I am, I am going to be sad when it's over. I guess the best thing to do is to make the most out of the time that's left! It also makes me happy to see that many other people are enjoying this experience as much as I am. I am going to put the link to my game here: Project Helix but don't feel like you have to play it as being able to talk about my expierence is definitly enough.

Thank you so much if you took the time to read this and I wish you the best of luck for this rating phase!

Hey! Your game is really good and memorable too! I remember play testing it during the submission phase and even coming back to it to try and beat my score! Great job making this game and good luck with the rest of the rating period! 

This game is just as fun as when I play tested it! Had to play it again since I liked it so much from the first time! You did a really good job at making the player panic and it is such a well-polished game. The audio was a bit loud but that should not take away from how great this game is! You did an amazing job! Good luck with the rest of this rating period!

Wow. This game is really cool. The art style looks awesome, and it's really cool how you were able to make a game with multiple things that spin. I really like the spin animation for the final level, and I did not expect that ending at all. You did a really great job! 

Hello! My game is a puzzle game about manipulating molecular spins to cure a virus that is infecting the world. You work as a remote intern for Helix Labs, but you start getting intercepted emails and you have to piece together what is happening behind the scenes.
Project Helix
Thanks so much for taking the time to play peoples games! I will definitely give yours a try!

This is a really nice game! The idea is very original and the art is amazing. The tutorial was a little bit of an information dump that I think could be made better by a tutorial level where you let the player play a round while you tell them what to do. Overall, this was a really fun game that had interesting mechanics and great art! Good job! 

This is a really fun game! The controls are very easy to learn, and it gets surprisingly difficult quickly. I love the amount of polish and the collecting ammo mechanic. It took me a couple tries to beat it, but it is a really good game! Great job! 

This is a cool idea! It seemed like if the missiles spawned a bit to the right of you then you couldn't make it around in time to shoot them before they went off. I like the take on the theme. You did a good job! Like someone else said: Keep making games! 

This is great! I loved playtesting it throughout the development part of this jam and it's really cool to see how far it has come! The level of polish is amazing and I love this music. The bundle you got was definitely a good investment! This is really awesome; you did such a good job!
