Elemental Spin
ELEMENTAL SPIN - MY FIRST GAME
Hello and welcome! This is my first Game Jam, and I'm happy to share this project with you. I learned a lot during these weeks, and I also ventured into Pixel Art for the first time. It was challenging and rewarding! The project is quite simple and modest, but I'm satisfied with it. This JAM was a world of discoveries for me, especially since this is the first game I've ever created.
Your feedback and suggestions are important to me. Feel free to reach out! I worked hard to create this game and even harder to fix all the bugs I found! If you happen to encounter one, I apologize and ask for your understanding as a beginner.
Thank you for playing!
THE GAME
While reflecting on the JAM theme, I considered the following points:
- Boss fight
- No obstacles
- No levels/stages
Purely and simply, a boss battle with a "Spin" theme!
Inspired by this, I created a game where each match is determined by four spinning wheels!
- Power Wheel → Defines your character's ability
- Boss Wheel → Determines your enemy
- Time Wheel → Sets the match duration
- Objective Wheel → Determines how many bosses you must defeat in the match
Depending on your power and the type of enemy, the damage strength will vary.
CONTROLS
- Lasts 5 seconds and can be activated every 3 seconds.

Over all it's a good first game, however having to constantly press the z button for shooting was hard and my hand got tired very quickly, some text was very small and i struggled to read it. The characters are cute but the flashing lights were too harsh.
Thanks for your comment! I'm glad you found the characters cute! About the Z-control, noted! I thought it was a good idea.
Managed to win 1/5 games. The controls aren't really good, I'd recommend you use mouse buttons instead of z and x where my fingers cannot reach that well while using WASD. The flashing lights make it a bit hard to focus. The graphics are nice - by my standards at least. There isn't much variety in how the bosses behave and they feel more like common enemies with how many there are. All in all it's a good first game.
Thank you very much for your comment! Tips noted! I was unsure about the graphics since it's also the first time I've done pixel art. I'm glad you liked it. I focused a lot on playing with the arrows and I thought Z and X were a good idea.
