Solid game design, controls, animations were cool, however I believe the game proved to be too challenging, crystals gave lesser and lesser energy as I die more and more leading to a vicious loop of dying near at the starting area. If difficulty could ramp up in a better way, could be way cooler than it already is.
I love the intro animation of getting power. Really solid robot character design, I like the little visor movement.
Great game!
The art is beautiful, music is nice, the gameplay is good but challenging, very challenging. Felt like the crystals could give a bit more energy.
I love the audio of this game. Good job!
Tough game! Struggled to get very far, but very cool concept!
Nice game. Very challenging. How do I unlock the jump action?
You come across terminals with red buttons. Press space button on them to interact.
Cool art and animations! I keep falling to my death on the second room and wasn't able to appreciate the content you all made. I think the first crystal should give max power and/or jump could be enabled at the start.
Hi, thanks for checking out our game. Don't forget, running and jumping also use up energy. Stick with walking until you can pick up a few power crystals. Use run to cross larger gaps from a height, this can help reach platforms to mitigate fall damage.
A cool game! I liked the art style and the gameplay was fun. Nice work!
love the pixel art. The character is cute. The need for speed took me off guard but fit the gameplay perfectly.
A lot of care went into the details and it shows, great visuals. The look and feel of the game page makes it feel like it's part of the game. The falling cones got me more times than i like to admit. You only get one run with that big shiny crystal, better make that count.
COOL GAME. Nice classic retro art was awesome, some hitbox issues and I wasnt able jump. However, was very cool looking!
Hi, thanks for playing. Jump is actually an ability you unlock as you play.
pretty cool, the competitive side of me didn't really like the constant dying but thats probably just a me thing lol. must say i haven't seen a game like it, good job!
Fun die and retry, my issue is about hitboxes, I think they are very large and got some unjust deaths :') Still very enjoyable
GREAT GAME!! the art reminds me of classic nes games
This game shows great potential, but I cannot make jumps. The space key doesn't work in either Chrome or Firefox on Mac OS. Perhaps enabling the full-screen option could help?
Thanks you for reporting this, we will have to look into this.
Fantastic though hard game play.
After you get the first power extension that gives you a full power you start again with little amount and are then not able to get further on since not getting full power results energy to run off before you can advance enough to the next battery
Thanks for playing, we will have to look into that.
Good Game
Thank you we appreciate it.
Really nice game👍 enjoyable to play.
The art style is great. That dyson sphere animation is really well done! Can I ask what tools you used to make it?
Thank you zed, we really appreciate it.
I used Aseprite for all the art and a really cool tool called Pixel Planet Generator by Deep Fold here on itch, check it out, link below.

I like it, but the font is a bit hard to read
