Great entry, I don't like how I have to kill myself to progress, but it is perfect for this limitation.

completelly in the theme, respectful of the limitation, graphics, gameplay and sound design are great, not gonna lie, it is one of the greatest game i've playing during this jam :) gg

I think it’s the smartest take on the limitation and it was really hard time imho. It always hurts to kill your character but hey, you get used to id haha! Very nice!

i'm surprised with how much art you were able to create in so bit time, the song was well structure and all the game design works well with theme. keep it up!

Super nice use of the limitation! I honestly was so impressed when playing. The game forces you to make choices and place your steam at strategic place. Brilliant!

It is also a super good thing that you added the checkpoint because sometimes waiting for the game just to 'simulate' itself gets boring

If I can give some feedback, the sprites were all the game colors, specially the main character which makes it confusing sometimes when you look at the screen.

In the end, you guys made a wonderful game and I really love the concept. Congrats!!

what a terrific game! Such a brilliant idea. The characters are super cute and the sound effects are just perfect. 2 thumbs way up.  Only criticism would have to be you need just a touch of teal to offset all that orange

Probably the best use of limitation that also uses the theme. Game is pretty creative, great work!

The idea is amazing! Really creative use of the limitation. It took a moment for me to understand the mechanic, but once it clicked, I was amazed by the idea :D Really, a great entry! :)

It was fun seeing what path I was taking depending on where I put steam pockets, loved that idea. Great use of the theme and limitation!

I liked this idea a lot! The little touches--the clicky sound the robot runner makes, the background art--are very nice. It wasn't clear to me why I got a game over (Main Menu/Restart) screen a couple times on Endless mode without being stuck or falling into the fire; it might have to do with the battery/coin pickups, as what they signified or affected also wasn't clear to me. Good use of save points to keep the game from being too repetitive. One thing I found interesting about this game concept is that it really is possible to lock yourself out of success, because if you explode/steam too early on a pipe you're not going to be able to avoid that since there's no way to close up airholes... Overall, a very neat twist on the endless runner genre, and excellent use of the limitation and the theme!

there are some cases where you can lock yourself, thats when you would need to create a steam pocet somewhere before to avoid the one causing an issue. The tutofial screen describes each icon, coin = points, battery= lives, so gotta plan your destruction. Thanks for playing!

Wow thats a suprisingly fun game! You created a game that fits very well to the Theme and Limitation at the same time, luckily there was a tutorial because i jumped straight into the game and had no idea how it worked xD
