Made it to the end with 124 deaths!
It was challenging game with fast paced shooting action. kinda reminds me of Portal.
I felt game's speed is little too fast, but I liked the concept!

Thank you very much for the varied and positively critical feedback!
We hoped using the highlighted mouse sign on the side of an interactable block would make it obvious enough that it has to be used to aim at objects, but perhaps it could've been improved somewhat. The conveyors are indeed extremely powerful when small, it's intended for speedrunning/skipping certain obstacles! Perhaps the camera could've shown more of the area in front of you when using one, so it's clearer where you're landing? We will certainly take these into consideration. Thank you once again!

Hi there! Thank you for the feedback. The shrinking upgrade for the Proportionator is right before that section, maybe you accidentally jumped over it? You may also be experiencing an issue with the web version where you can’t hold Shift (Turbo) and use right click at the same time. You should be able to right click at that point in the game, check if you missed the item at the beginning of the level :)

Hello! We're very glad you enjoyed our game. If you left it uncompleted due to the aiming being too frustrating by any chance, I would recommend turning off Aim Lock from the Pause Menu, that way you can have direct control over what you hit :)
There were a few reasons! For one, both of our previous collaborations (kekis and I) have featured humanoid protagonists with four regular limbs. We initially discussed having some kind of robot on wheels be the main character, not only to spice things up but also because the walk cycle would be easier and faster to animate fluidly (you may notice it really only has 8 pixels go in circles on the scooter's wheels, and the rider slightly shifts forward and backward). We were also discussing a sprint function, which would be equally easy to animate if no legs were involved.
When we started thinking more about our character's backstory and how they're stealing someone else's property, we realized we should make him as douchey as possible and make him ride an e-scooter (our native country has a stereotype of e-scooter users being annoying in cities). That ultimately developed into the Paavo we all know and love today: a microwave pizza-loving, government property-stealing e-scooter enthusiast.
