The concept is pretty cool! The execution exists more in potential than in actuality right now. Good luck. If you take this further I definitely recommend balancing the scrap and searching high and low for soft-lock situations. As it stands I'm not 100% sure how much can be done without cheating past the first room or two, but it was good that you let players know how to do that so we could experience the mechanics you intended to implement more fully.

I really like the concept of collecting scrap to craft upgrades, but I never seem to find any scrap beyond the first room, so i couldn't craft any. E.g. when I got the double jump blueprint, I didn't have enough hard scrap to build it, and couldn't get out of that immediate area without building it.

I.e. it feels like I'm missing a mechanic. How does one collect scrap? It says you attack robots to do so, but I've tried to shoot at everything that might be a robot to no avail.

Hi, thanks for playing

Unfortunately something went wrong with the web build and the enemies all became non-functional, preventing the generation of more scrap via intended means.
You can still press 6 to generate scrap via cheats, allowing you to craft and explore the remaining environment.

Again, thanks for putting the effort in on this one anyway! It's appreciated.

I can't seem to be able to jump and can't leave the first room(pushing space and no jump).  I think I'm bad at games haha.  I used the cheats to get around :D

Ah thank you for playing. Like a fool, I made the basic Jump the first upgrade that you need, but then didn't make anything explaining that! I'll put it in the description.

Thanks again!
