A Nerd's Delay
Our protagonist Otakun is a big fan of manga, idols and video games. But his mom doesn't accept his passion and keeps pursuing him into finishing school, finding a job and doing other normie activities!
Otakun doesn't want to start that kind of life! But deep in his heart, he knows he can't escape forever...
Controls:
Arrows/WASD - move
Shift/Space - spin attack (get 5 Nerd Items to get 1 spin attack)

Otakun's design is based on a Virtual Youtuber Itakage Kuon

The artwork for the Otaku and his Mom are super cute! :heart: the ending!
God Job!
The only problem I had was not really understanding when the spin mechanic was available. It took me a while to notice that there was an icon for it -- drawing more attention to it somehow (like a placeholder box when it's missing, or something?) might be a good idea.

I like picking up the items and it's actually really fun! I like the music, it makes it feel really intense and the leaderboard is a nice touch!
Overall, well done!
