Gyra - Ludum Dare 34 Game

Defend your energy core from swarming enemies by spinning battering arms.

Press the top of your screen to make the core spin faster, and press the bottom of your screen to make the core spin slower. The core will grow the faster it spins.

Spinning at different speeds allows you strategize whether to strike enemies or to dodge them.

You have 10 lives. Try to beat your highscore!

REVIEWS FROM LUDUM DARE

"Very cool, love the polished presentation and the risk/reward style of the gameplay. Simple but effective."
— Nega Drive

"Creative and simple, yet still a solid [game] entry."
— Kakureta

"This is absolutely fantastic. One of the best game's I've played this jam. You've got a unique, simple mechanic that has a surprising amount of depth -- changing size to dodge enemies, trading greater spin speed at the risk of having an enemy touch your larger size, timing the spinning to hit enemies. Really awesome, with an impressive degree of mastery possible."
