A cute little game with creative visuals. Well done!

Protecting a piggy bank was a fun idea. Using just the mouse and being able to reverse direction worked well. I didn't do very well and felt like I needed to be able to shoot faster, but that was probably my bad timing and not getting enough enemies lined up when I shot.

Very cute game. I would do anything to protect my piggy.

This game was a blast! It was really fun and chaotic to deal with all the monsters while protecting my precious piggy. This idea has a lot of potential as well, like maybe adding powerups or changing the shape of the loop.
Overall, great game and was fun!

Super fun and silly, great game for a jam. Immediately felt like I had to protect my piggy :)

No my PIGGYBANK. 
Was fun shooting at enemies and getting multi hits to work :)

The sound design felt good. The level pace as well :) I liked it. 

  • would have loved more enemies,
  • upgrade for shooting a few more arrows
  • different enemies

Cons

  • I didn't read the rules at first... I tried to collect the potions. But realized that I have to kill them between the spawnwaves.
  • The enemies could have spawned more out of place. Yes multi shots are fine. But sometimes I killed a whole gang with just one shot. More variaty would have been better.

But I liked your little game.

A short and fun game , loved the idea and could be extended with harder levels and powerups and some outline could make the enemies more clear but not a big deal , i enjoyed it

he protecc, he attacc, he have the piggy's bacc - cute! I think it would be cool if you could change your rotational direction! Neat idea!

Developer

Fun game, shooting arrow mechanism was really good.

good work! A little short, but plays well :)

Looks good. Becomes a bit hard after a while.

I like the combination of being spun around the object you are protecting and having to change directions to avoid the traps. I think some changes to the way enemies spawn and the shooting and this could be a really solid game. I wish it kept going at the end!

Really short and sweet game! Definitely think that there can be more mechanics like progression that can be added but the framework you created in the time we were given is really good!

Submitted(+1)

Short and sweet, I like the concept a lot and it'd be nice to see it expanded on but some interesting ideas with how different enemies targeting you and the pig or the circle itself, awesome game despite it's short length!

Fun game to play for a bit. I think some sort of scaling for the player would help the game feel more replayable, as the amount of enemies quickly increases as well. It's a lot easier once I figured out what enemy did what, which I feel should be information that's not in the tutorial. Figuring that out was the main aspect that made the game enjoyable for me at least... but I see how it could be frustrating for others.

SImple but addictive core mechanic. it was fun trying to hit as many enemies as possible wiht one shot.
