Infortunately for me I ran into two critical bugs. The TAB touch don't work on my browser and release the mouse lock on from the game, which do not feed tab to the game and therefor prevent me from switching characters. So I can't go past the tutorial. Since I cannot reassign the touch, nor download the desktop version of the game I cannot play it.

Moreover, when I press space to jump, the dog is stuck in a infinite loop of jump and makes it really slow to walk, and cannot run anymore. So I cannot even jump above the crates to go past the tutorial neither.


Therefore i'll rate this game it by his old playable version on desktop before the tutorial released. It's a good use of the art, and the concept of switching character to suicide on the environment is great. This would deserve more polish to make it a full completed game. Thanks for your work !

The animation of the dog and character look great. So do the environments and automatic doors. The triggers to activate them and the exit on the back of the ship worked well. Nice job!

Would love to add more mechanics to the game to make it a bit more fun to play as you currently just blow up one set of boxes and off you go. Was planning on adding some objectives for a level and maybe a map of places to save more dogs at, possible upgrades due to abilities. Larger explosion from destructo, a new robot to add electricity to a unit. Thank you for your feedback!

I love the aesthetics and the idea. Unfortunately there is only one level available. I would like to see this idea to develop more levels!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, I feel like there is a lot I can do here with this game if I had a little more time and I will be making updates after the game jam ends. I was thinking of having a few other robots with different abilities.

Current Bugs:

  1. Electro (the robot dog) jump animation does not properly work
  2. If you fall off any platforms the game does not end to restart the level
