How does your game fit the theme?
Literally the player is running out of their control of the character, as represented with the number of keystrokes they can input in each level. There are some known bugs regarding in the character detecting collision with the floor and walls which may render the control become unresponsive. you can try to spam dash to unstuck. sorry for the inconvenience

Simple concept, but works well, polished enough, controls play well and level design is fair!

Submitted

Neat game and I like the concept

Submitted

Would have loved an automatic restart. For the rest, good job!

Nice approach or the theme :). That makes a mix between platformer and puzzle. Good idea :)

Interesting idea, love the concept, but why isn't there a restart button?

Developer

Hi edwardclombe, Thank you for trying our game! Appreciate the feedback, but do you mind explaining why a restart button?

Submitted(+1)

Because I ran out of moves left, my robot got kind of stuck in mid jump.....and that was it, the level didn't restart by itself nad I didn't find any key to strike to restart (which would be less tedious than reloading the page and game and starting over). It's the only thing that was missing in my opinion ;)

Developer

ah okay, that's a new bug. during the short play testing time we had, we didn't encounter this bug, so yeah. Thank you for the feedback! Noted and we will definitely fix this if we continue to develop the game!

Awsome idea!
Instead of being out of control you run out of control and also having a power up to replenish the energy is well made.

Some things you didn't consider are that there are keyboards with QWERTZ (like mine) which makes it very hard to dash. Any ways ...

Nice game!

Hi Osoka, Thank you for trying our game!! We will definitely consider customizable control scheme if we were to develop this further!! sorry for the oversights as it is only a game jam project haha

Submitted

I know that you didn't had time for that, but maybe just avoid using the Y or Z key for an ability in the future.

Cool take! With some polishing this could really be turned into a proper game.

Developer

Hi CRobes, Thank you for trying our game!!

Nice game! I like the quite literal taking of 'out of control'.

Hi Snapshot, Thank you for trying our game!

Submitted(+1)

The game has lots of potential! The mechanic feels well polished, but the difficulty scaling ramps up a little on level 3 haha

Developer

Hi Victor, Thank you for trying our games! Will definitely consider your feedback if we were to continue develop this.

I kept running out of control damnit! I had fun with you game, nice job!

Developer

Hi Rhizo! Thanks for playing and we are glad that you had fun playing it!

I enjoy this concept,  and it fits to the theme swimmingly. To me the only thing that loses replay value is how the game over screen will always show when you have used all of your energy. It would be more addicting if it kept going :D

Hi Darobyn! Thank you for spending some of your time trying and giving feedback to our game!

I also got stuck on level 3 so the difficulty scaling could've maybe been a little more forgiving. It's a great idea though and has a lot of potential so good job!

Developer

Hi MathildeMusic! Thanks for trying our game and thank you for giving your feedback!

Submitted(+1)

It was challenging, if I hadn't just done an all nighter I might've gotten further (I got stuck on level 3).  I liked the one time I managed to rag doll into the rock.  The concepts is sweet, and original.  The platforming bits were well put together and generally felt reactive and fun.  Good Job!

Hi Nathan! Thanks for the feedback!
