SpinCast

Spincast is a VERY SERIOUS!! Roguelike fighting game made in 3 days by 2 people for the Juniper Dev June 2026 game jam. 

Time your attacks, parry enemy strikes, build ridiculous perks, and see how long you can survive.

============== GAMEPLAY ==============

A constantly spinning wheel determines your actions. You must time your input to land on the action you want while also reacting to enemy attacks.

The base wheel has 10 slots:

• 4 Basic Attacks — weak but reliable
• 6 Elemental Attacks — much stronger and tied to enemy weaknesses

Hitting an enemy with the correct element triggers an Efficient Hit, dealing 1.5x damage.

Critical hits deal 2x damage and are based on your Crit Chance, which starts at 10%. Critical Hits can also combo with Efficient Hits for even bigger damage.

Enemies come in waves. After each wave, you choose between:

• Healing
• Taking a Perk

Perks come in four rarities:

1. Common
2. Rare
3. Epic
4. Demon

Choose carefully, scale hard, and try to outpace the enemies before they outscale you.

==============  CONTROLS  ==============

- Use Wheel: Left Click / Space / A / F

- Parry: Right Click / LCtrl / LShift / E

==============  ENEMIES  ===============

There are 3 enemy types, and each one has 2 attacks.

As the waves progress, enemies become:

• Faster
• Stronger
• Tankier

Your perks will help you scale, but survival ultimately comes down to timing, reactions, and knowing when to parry.

=============  MECHANICS  =============

Wheel

The wheel spins constantly and becomes debuffed (faster) when you land Efficient Hits. The wheel slows back down over time.

After each use, the wheel also has a short cooldown.

Perks can affect the wheel’s speed, values, and slots. The wheel also gets faster after each wave, so you will need good perk choices to keep control.

Parries

The player starts with 3/12 parries.

Parries can be used during an enemy attack to negate all damage. The parry window is shown by a yellow exclamation mark above the player, which can be disabled in the settings.

Parries can be gained through Efficient Hits and certain Perks.

==========  PERK RARITY ORDER  ==========

Healing does not skip a rarity.

1. Common
2. Rare
3. Common
4. Epic
5. Common
6. Demon
7. Common
8. Common
9. Rare
10. Common
11. Common
12. Epic
13. Common
14. Common
15. Demon

Then the order repeats.

============  KNOWN BUGS  ============

• Info pop up on Loss shows up twice, just click okay on both its fine. Very unserious of us I know but its a miracle this game exists with the lack of time we had. This game had no testing phase ;-; 
• Ultimate Crit currently gives 15% of your current bonus crit value instead of the intended value.
  
• Some Double X perks do not currently FULLY work as intended. They are still strong though so its okay. Double parry on Efficient Hit is fine though.
• Healing Perk adds a slot to the wheel that has the same icon as the basic attack.
