Well this is a really nice game!! You should probable change the UI font to a pixelated font, it'll go better with the great art. I get the idea, it's a bit cluncky, but It's of course fault of the time constraint.  Great use of the theme! really liked it!

Developer

Thank you! I'll take a look at some pixelated fonts to pair with the art (which I might eventually replace with custom art).

A nice little puzzle game. I felt a little hindered by a 2 input limit but that might have been the fault of my keyboard? Also found it a little tricky having s as the pickup button, especially when it moved to the flying one where you couldn't touch the walls, but I guess thats part of it being 'out of control'.

Developer(+1)

I don't know of any input limit. But I'll rearrange the controls. Thank you for playing and commenting!

Submitted

Nice art! A bit difficult, got stuck at place when you need to lift a computer up.

Developer

Yeah, I'll probably change up the level and controls if I update it. I didn't make the art, but thanks for complimenting my free asset choice! :)

Submitted

This is great! We like the art you picked.

Developer

Thank you very much!

Submitted

Liked the concept and the game was fun! I only wished the keybinding would be a little better since trying to jump and hold an object was a little difficult and required both of my hands. Besides that it was a nice game!

Developer

Appreciate it! I'm thinking about changing the controls in the future.

Submitted

I was surprised how fleshed out all of the individual mechanics were, a little bit of polish on the ui and this could go far!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it! I'm also considering replacing the free assets with custom art by a few artists I know.

Submitted

Cool game, got a decent finger twist! keep it up

Developer

I will! Thanks a bunch!

Submitted

Controls were difficult, trying to use s and w together was uncomfortable. I liked the different rebinds that could happen. 

Developer

I'm glad the mechanic interested everyone. The controls definitely have some issues to sort out.

Submitted

Cool game!

Developer

Amazing that you liked it!

Submitted

I struggled a bit with the controls on this one especially because ARROWS are allowed but not mentioned and trying to press "X" while also controlling with A/D, Jumping with W, and selecting with S is strange and feels unnatural. Perhaps a remapping of the controls would help make it smoother to play or at least giving us the ability to chose the control schemes.

However, I do like the idea of hindering your abilities every so often though it hard to tell which one got hindered and went. 

Developer(+1)

I appreciate the criticism on the controls--all these comments so far seem to be about the pickup button, and I regret wanting the controls to specifically be WASDX (which I decided would be the case when I made the logo before coding). About the arrow keys; they're only allowed because I forgot to disable them in Unity. I'll reconsider how I've arranged the controls in a possible future update. After I pretty up my code, of course. Thank you for playing!

Submitted

Great game!

Developer

Thank you! I played yours yesterday and thought it was hilarious.

Submitted

Great looks and game. Had a little trouble with the S pickup control and movement.

Developer

Thank you for the compliments! I'm considering rearranging the controls after the jam, so keep a look out.

Submitted

Hi, seems a good game :) The character tho is too fast and the browser version is a bit laggy, so it was difficult to even take the 2nd computer.

Developer

Sorry you had problems--I'll be working on speed and such if I decide to update. Thanks a ton for playing!

Submitted

Cool game, reminded me of Portal a bit!

Developer(+1)

Really? That's a high honor. Thank you!

Submitted

I agree with some of the comments below, the idea is nice ! But you should speed up the character a bit, yep ! Good entry anyway !

Developer

Appreciate it! If I ever update this I'll increase the speed.

Submitted

I wasn't able to get past the first room.  Are the controls assigned at random?

Developer(+1)

Yes and no--the controls are changed at random intervals, but the WASD keys are set to different control schemes. For example, it could be set so you use WASD to fly. They are not individually randomized. By the way, the first room is the whole game, so don't feel bad about it :)

Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Nice game! I really enjoyed the the monster art and satisfying gameplay. Well done!

Developer

Thanks tons! Though the art isn't mine--all the assets but the logo and buttons are itch.io free assets.

Submitted

nice game but some times it feels life you are too slow

Developer

Yeah--when you're rebound, sometimes you're slower. This is to compensate for special abilities. I have no idea why holding a computer slows the player down, though. Thanks for playing! (Appreciate the nice comment!)

thenk you for takeing the time to make it

Submitted

Interesting mechanic, though sometimes it feels impossible to advance without waiting for a good rebound.  Also the lighting got a bit distracting.

Developer

Yeah, the blinding lights were missing background textures. Sorry about that! Appreciate your comment!

Developer

(I also probably should've watched some GMTK for level design tips :P)

Submitted

Nice game but S for pick up was a bit of a pain to use.

Developer

I see where you're coming from--I found it frustrating, too, but deadlines, as you know. Thanks a ton for playing and commenting!
