I guess presentation was my downfall

Games where the player needs to bounce something away need to be careful because the obvious solution of "just make the velocity negative" leads to very rigid, Pong-like movement that the player can't control much. Solutions where the player can control the outgoing trajectory of the bounce (such as making it bounce more upward if hitting it with the player's head or more downward if hitting it with the feet) give the player more control and make it more skill-based. That said, I enjoyed playing it 🙂

Roko's BasiliskWe have a great game loop. I tried several time to bring the square at the end but didn't succeed ^^
I saw that some green rocks bounce the player instead of killing him. I don't know if it was attend.
Maybe to improve the readability of the AI block you could add a trail therefore it will be easy to understand the trajectory.
Well done mate :)

Chat perchéWell scoped, and it's definitely a rage platformer! Most rage games I've played use learnable triggers for the obstacles. I found the robot's bounces a bit too chaotic and I couldn't plan in advance where it would go, which made the game a bit too random for my liking. I got into the second to last room a couple of times before succumbing to the rage!

While Vampires SleepNice idea! It was fun to try and figure out how to maneuver around the robot to make it go where you want it to. I feel like what is dangerous and for who is unclear. At first I assumed the green rocks were bad for the robot to hit until it bounced right off, then maybe bad for me to hit, I landed on one without an issue so they just seemed to be fine, but later on though I bumped the side of one and died.

Ghost TownLOL I hate that robot, amazing work giving that much personality to a grey square!

Compicactus: AI dating simulatorThe 'tweet' / 'click' noise that plays when the robot bounces is going to be seared into my head for a while. I had to mute it eventually. The game could use a little coyote time for the jumps, as I felt more frustrated by how the character moved than how the AI bounced. Rage games and escort missions are a match made in hell.
