A game created in a month for Boss Rush Jam 2025 with the theme: Rotation.
The game was created almost entirely live on Twitch ( https://www.twitch.tv/douckdouck )
I did all the code, graphic assets and music. I recorded some of the sounds (notably the bosses' voices), the rest came from https://pixabay.com/ and a little from https://lasonotheque.org/, and some were modified on Audacity.
I used the Construct 3 game engine, the graphics were created with Aseprite and the music was done with FL Studio.

This is crazy! Great design, very responsive, and the bosses are difficult but fair. I love it!
Difficult but fair! Phew, that's what I was hoping they'd be.
Thanks a lot :D
Masterpiece, one of my favorite games for this jam ever, very good job.
Thank you very much ❤
Super Fun!!! love the little guy you play as very silly. And lovely art direction too
Thank you so much for your comment!
I drew this little guy on the fly at the beginning of the project. Then when it came time to redraw it, I couldn't do any better. So I kept him as is and just animated him :D
woah amazing game really cool mechanic
Thank you very much^^
I really love the take on the theme! It’s a genius idea. The gameplay is simple but so effective! I think my favorite is the Joker - I really like the moveset. I played with the mouse, and I might have enjoyed the experience more if there had been a dotted line showing where I would go. I like that the hearts are rotating, but it was hard for me to understand my life total.
Thank you very much for your comment :)
I'm glad you liked the game^^ And honestly, I think my favorite is also the joker, whether it's the design, the moveset, the sound-design or the music :D
As for the little dotted line, there's a small one when you're playing with the joystick (it's more of an arrow than a real line running through the whole arena).
I didn't think it was necessary with the mouse. But for the sake of accessibility, I've just added the option in the settings to activate an aiming assist when playing with the mouse :D (The settings menu is getting a bit crowded as I keep adding options xD).
For me it’s night and day! It’s much more readble
So much the better! :)
So far I haven't managed to do all 5 bosses in a row, but the game is super fun. Very beautiful and well finished, I haven't had any bugs so far! Well done!
Thanks a lot!
Yes, finishing all 5 bosses is hard xD I hope it's not TOO hard! In any case, I'm glad you found it fun and pretty :D (and that you didn't see any bugs!)
This game's take on the theme is very creative, I love it! Also, the tutorial is the best tutorial I've seen so far, I learned how to play very fast. The bosses are super fun and creative as well!
Thank you very much! I have to admit I'm pretty proud of this tutorial :D So I'm glad it works!
best entry I've played ... it's the only one. But it's undeniably very creative and really good, thumbs up for that impressive work!
Ahah! Thanks XD
This is pretty cool. Great entry. Can you make it so that the gumball machine part is a little faster?
Thanks for your comment :)
The slightly long gumball machine time is mostly used to rest between bosses and quite often to let a heart appear if you run out of life. But I might consider a “skip transition” button. I'll make a note of the idea (right now I need to rest :D).
I've updated the game with a “skip” button. This should allow you to skip the boss choice scene with the gumball machine (for the record, in the game's built-in speedrun mode, the timer pauses during boss transitions, so using the “skip” button won't affect the time count).
Soo much fun!
Many thanks <3
so well made, thx for this fun game
Thank you very much for your comment :D
