Amazing game! I enjoyed it a lot! :D

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Hope you found all the robot friends!

Submitted

Yep! :D

Submitted

Nice art and concept! The movement is a little delayed and disjointed but the mechanics are still pretty cool. Good job!

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

The art and gameplay in this is great. I love the idea of being able to connect to so many different objects to help you platform, and also that it provides certain ones power. My only complaint is that the jump feels weird. The falling is fine, the jump just feels unnatural. Not really sure what it is.

Developer

Thanks for your feedback!  There's a bit of a spacey feel when you jump for sure - which could look and feel unnatural.  Glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted

A cute game with a lot of character! I found it to be a little too difficult to snap into the right spot sometimes, so perhaps if Sprocky was a little more floaty or if the connectors were more forgiving, it would make everything feel a lot smoother and less frustrating. This is definitely a cool mechanic I could see being expanded on further, nice job!

Developer

Thank you!  It's not that obvious that you could hold space for a more floaty jump - we definitely should advertise that earlier in the game.  We were going for a precision game that is meant to be challenging, but not something that frustrates our players.  The connectors definitely need adjusting for leniency.  Thanks for playing and hope you found all the robots!

Great game !

The art and all the visuals are really nice & coherent.

Loved the concept of connecting to platforms. Very challenging at first but once you get the hang of it it's very satisfying.
I found it a bit short (meant as a compliment, because I wanted to play more of it)

Only little issue is the ui & texts were very small (might be due to my screen resolution if you didn't activate the "scale to screen size" on you canvas)

Appart from that, perfect jam game. well done :)

Developer

Thank you! We definitely would have added more levels given more time.  Out of curiosity, what resolution did you play in?

Submitted

I played on a macbook retina 3024×1964 (macbooks are full of weird resolutions like that ^^)

Submitted

Such a good game. This deserves more time and effort to make a full fledged game. Art, sound and gameplay are all on point.

Great job!

Developer

That means a lot to our team, thanks for playing!

Submitted

This game is actually great 5 star for innovation love the unique idea and reallyu hits the theme . nice artstyle and animations too. well done good submission

Developer

Thank you!  Hope you were able to find all the robots!

Submitted

I think the idea is awesome. I think the level design could have been adjusted a little better. The first set of platforms above the red lazer was frustrating and tough. It would have been better as a later challenge, or let the connections be a bit more forgiving. Great story, great artwork, great idea and mechanics as a whole.

Developer

Thanks for your feedback!  I agree that particular puzzle was introduced too early without a lead up on how to connect with the side sockets and is too punishing.  I'm glad you still enjoyed it!

Submitted(+1)

Pretty interesting take on a platformer!

I liked how you could adjust the direction your connector was positioned to jump between platforms and to rotate the blocks, very interesting mechanic.

Oh the animations were adorable, I loved lil Sprocky and the faces the other robots made when powered on, especially the platforms!

Great game and great job chief!

Developer

Thank you so much for your kind response! So glad you had fun!

Really cool idea and cute little robots! I was really into it until the vertically moving platforms, I couldn't work out how to connect to them and kept falling to my death.

Developer(+1)

Awww sorry to hear you had trouble 'connecting.' Admittedly, the game was designed to be challenging, and the mechanic can take a bit to get used to. Thank you for giving it a go! 

Submitted(+1)

I am not a fan of puzzles, but this one sucked me in. Great job with the pixel art too!

Developer

Haha that's so awesome to hear! Thank you!

Great idea! Well done

Developer

Thank you!

Nice job!! really polished!

Developer(+1)

So kind of you to say!!

Submitted(+1)

Haha, awesome game. Took a couple of minutes to figure out what is going on and how to work with the hitboxes but after that, it was a breeze! Really enjoyed playing it.

Developer(+1)

So happy you enjoyed it! Thank you so much!

Submitted(+1)

Took me a minute to get used to the mechanic and how the hit boxes worked when connecting and jumping while connected, but ended up really enjoying this one! Music was on point!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! So happy you had fun playing the game and enjoyed our Sprocky theme!

Submitted(+2)

Had an absolute blast playing this. I probably died like a hundred times by falling into the lasers in the last room, but I always felt like I could do it if I just tried enough. Really great balance.

Coordinating both hands like that is not easy. :D

Developer

Thanks so much for playing and leaving some feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the game!!

Developer

Thank you so much! The goal was to make the game challenging but not frustrating, allowing you to respawn rapidly and try as many times as it takes. So glad to hear you did not give up!

Submitted(+2)

Super polished game. Fit the theme of the game jam well.

Developer

Thanks so much for playing!!

Submitted(+2)

This is a great execution of the theme, bravo! Oh, and Sprocky's got THE SCHMOVES!

Developer

Lol, thank you so much for playing!!

Developer

Hahaha thank you!
