Fun game! I especially liked the last puzzle. I would like to see more levels! :D

On the technical part, the jump is a bit floaty and I think that the character controller could be improved.

Overall is a nice entry, good job!

Developer

thanks!

Super fun game with some very well-designed and thought-provoking puzzles. Soundtrack was great too! The jumps are a little unforgiving though, and I got stuck on the side of a wall and got softlocked on the last level :(

Developer

sorry about that lol, i didn't have time to flesh out the jumps to make them more forgiving and stuff, and being stuck seems to be a kinda rare glitch which i thought i fixed but didn't. thanks for playing though!

Amazing game! The level building is quite clever despite only having 2 types of platform!

Developer

thanks!

The art is serviceable, but wow there's some really clever ideas in this game. I love how each leg felt different to each other and really had their own identities, and the puzzles involving them really surprised me with how they put each type to good use. (That last one before the end was really smart!)

If you decide to expand on this game I'm all for it, I saw you had a "body" mechanic you clearly weren't able to complete in time, and I'm honestly curious what you can do with that if the legs alone were used extremely well.

Great job all around!

Developer

thanks! and yeah I did want a body mechanic but I couldn't think of what functionality it would have, and I did run out of time so for now it's left incomplete lol. I might expand it later, I'm not sure

Cute game! I liked the idea and the building mechanic was super fun. Good job!

Developer

thanks lol, I'll try out your game in a couple hours

Cool and creative take on the theme! Building a bot for different purposes is a neat take on the platforming genre. With little visual polish, this is the type of game I might buy on steam!

Developer

thanks lol, I'll make sure to try out your game when i can

The wheel was genius, awesome addition :D

It took me a few tries before I figured out the last level, as I didn't expect the bottom platform to stay in place. But hey, it worked :D

I also had a bug once where I think an infinite loop caused the whole game and browserpage to freeze. I think it was the same level as in your screenshot, where I just dropped the big boulder and stood on that ledge, but I got stuck on the corner when dropping down, I think.

Overall, pretty solid game :D good job!

Developer

thanks for playing dude, also yeah i should have made it more clear that the bottom platform wouldn't fall lol. also i was pretty sure i fixed the infinite loop glitch but apparently not lol, seems to be pretty rare though but still

Fun game. the oly thing is that that sometimes you get stuck and that when you swap bodyparts you need to let go of keyboard. I really liked to move around with the wheel was really fun. :)

Developer (1 edit)

ahh i see, i thought I'd fixed every glitch but apparently i didn't lol. glad to hear you had fun though. i loved your game btw

I really enjoyed this, even the ms-paint graphics really appealed to me. The gameplay itself is actually very good, the platforming is tight and well tuned.

Only suggestion would be that each workshop could be a checkpoint, its frustrating falling down and having to then reswap- the legs to solve the puzzles you already solved.

Would be very grateful if you tried our game!

Developer

hmm alr, i didn't think i needed checkpoints cause i thought the rooms were small enough but alr lol. also glad to hear that you enjoyed it. I'll definitely try it out later (in about 12 or 13 hours), can't try it rn cause i gtg to college lol

Fun time thinking which legs taking for which puzzle ! Unfortunately i've been stuck on the side of the vertical middle bar where there is 3 vertical bars consecutively :( .

Developer

do you mean the last level? (the fourth room btw) if so, you kinda gotta use the wheel and climb the first 3 vertical bars and use the slight extra speed from there to reach the workshop up there. if not, can you specify which level lol
