Really Cool use of the theme. Enjoyed the gameplay

Really good job! Very fun to play. The gameplay was very intuitive. The level design supported that. And it looked good, too. And the mechanic is great, literally breaking the rules, i love that concept. 

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing… And so happy to see such positive remarks… :)

This was SO COOL. I loved the ambiance, music, and the idea. That is seriously a nifty mechanic. Also I really dug the backstory, it added just enough to keep it simple but set the tone for the game.

Just as an aside, the WebGL built won't fully load for me (I'm on Firefox) but the download worked great. Very cool submission.

Thanks a lot for playing… And really glad that you liked it… I know, like the webgl building took 45 mins and it still isn’t loading for some reason… Thanks for downloading and playing the windows version… :)

Cool game! It gives me some serious "baba is you" vibes with having to break rules within the environment to progress. The overall gameplay is fun (although, I had trouble realizing I couldn't kill the robots). The platforming feels nice and overall it is a really fun game.

If you wanted to improve, I suggest playing into more of the puzzle element of what's going on, maybe add a way to repair rules or switch around how they work like in "baba is you ". 

Overall, a really cool idea!

Thanks so much for playing…. I would be lying if I said I didn’t take inspiration from baba is you… But didn’t want to copy it exactly, so added the platforming aspect and focused on breaking the rules thing and designed my puzzles around it… I felt that way it would be more my own design…

I’ll definitely think of more puzzles and add to it in the future… Thanks a lot :)

Very orignal arts :)
At first it reminded me of a mix between Mortal Kombat and the parkour game Vector.
Nice puzzles too.

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing…. So glad you liked it… Ah! I knew the art style reminded me of something… :)

Thanks a lot for playing… So glad you liked the puzzles :)

Very nice platforming-puzzle game. More levels like Level 3 where you have rules affecting other rules would be cool if you add to the game in the future.

Developer

Glad for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed it. :)

Developer

Thanks for playing… Yeah level 3 was the most fun to develop… Just the idea of not only breaking the rule, but deciding when to break it sounded more challenging and fun… Will definitely add more levels to it in the future… :)

Really liked the artwork and presentation of this game. Wish there were more levels. Sometimes I would activate the hammer, and the character wouldn't go through with the motion. Not sure if that is a bug or a feature. Our game had a similar "Breaking the Rules" mechanic. Great minds do think alike. Wonderful job!

Developer

Thanks , I'm glad you liked it .And yes hammer won't play , if you press button too soon.
Checked your game too And it was really fun.

Developer

Thanks for playing… So glad you liked it… I wish there were more levels too lol… Will add more after the jam and let you know :)

Cool concept, reminded me Baba is you. You guys nailed the theme. Or hammered it, IDK :)

Game is a bit buggy, I had to restart a  lot; but that's expected.

Great job!

Developer

Glad you liked it. And Yes WEBGL takes too much time ,I guess it is buggy .
