Simplicity: Simple, although not simple to play.

Fun: FAR  to difficult. No in-game tutorial about how it works.

Creativity: Not too original, but still more creative than most.

Visuals: Very nice lookin'

Sound: Not good, not bad. Like most games. I'm not the best at critising audio.

On Topic: One of the best examples I've seen.

controls were a bit goofy but i got the hang of it after a while, and then the game was actually super enjoyable. art was real nice aswell!

Developer

Thank you for playing and thanks for also learning the controls!

nice game hard control because you need to get speed to jump longer otherwise great idea for the robot that lift you. Good game !

Developer

Thank you for playing and for the nice feedback :)

A bit hard to control but a nice game and very polished! 

Developer

Thank you for playing! The difficulty to control was due to me playing the game and not making the controls easier because I thought they were balanced, I’ll definitely balance this post-jam

The animations and text boxes and art is just so amazing and well polished, incredible work!

Developer

Thank you for playing and for the very kind feedback!

The song was a bit annoying and repetitive and I cheesed all the levels and got stuck on the boss fight because I couldn't damage him.

I remember seeing you on discord! very cool to see what game you made.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing! I really like your game too :)

The art & music is good. The pipes in the background could have been a different color tho ( maybe brown).

Developer

Thank you for playing! When making the pipes I didn't think of having them be different colors, but that makes sense.

Fun concept! Though I found it a bit difficult to control. Nice art and music as well :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing! I got that a lot that the controls are difficult and I am going to adress this after the jam. Thank you for your feedback on the art and music!

I was probably doing something wrong but it was very difficult for me :D Love the art and music <3

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing and for your kind feedback! The difficulty was definitely off  though :/

Had fun but once I got to the third area I couldn't seem to interact

Developer

go near the floating shooter bot and press "E"

Submitted(+1)

Great visual, great idea (I liked having 2 bot assistants where each bot has its own ability/functions), but controls are a bit hard to get used to and music feels repetitive

Submitted(+2)

The controls  are a bit difficult to get used to but I like the concept very much.

You could try using a mouse to control either the shooting robot or the platform robot.

Developer

Thank you for playing and for the feedback regarding the concept! I got really used to the controls and I never thought of having the robots be controlled by the mouse, that is a good idea that I will consider implementing post-jam

To everyone playing the game: Go to fullscreen mode if the game is cut off on the project page.

Man, the mechanics in this game are really hard to master. Maybe I'm just dumb :D

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you for playing! The mechanics being hard was an oversight on my part because I used my developer bias to try to make them easier rather than player feedback.

Puh that is hard to play ^^ at least for me plattformer newby...

I like the visuals of the robot and the ai, I have some issues with background, fo me at least it was a bit to distracting as it is grey in grey as the background.

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you for playing! As I sometimes do, I didn’t consider that the game should be easier. The playtester I have knows how to play platformers well so I though the gane was balanced and simple. As for the background, I didn’t really know what other colors could be pipes so I just used all of the gray colors at my disposal.
