A fighting mechanics could be even better. Firstly I would rather prefer to attack on a keyboard key, mouse is not used in the game except it's left button. Secondly it takes really long to kill a single robot, so it's a lot simpler to just ignore them.

As for other parts, they are just great. Visualls are 11/10

Developer

Thanks for the comment. I used left mouse for attacking because I personally like using mouse for attacking in games but that can change from person to person. I could use arrow keys and z, x for my next games. Or make a  customizeable control system.

Really great game.

Great job - this looks and feels fantastic! I came across a minor bug - if you drop the box after picking it up (where you need the box and 2 keycards) it seems to fall through the floor and out of use

Thanks.  I guess somethings wrong with unity's collisions I'll check it out.  But for now when that happens dieing would fix it and hitting the door controlled by the pressure plate damages the player.

Because robots can't make robots :D But honestly I didn't even thought of that.

The game's simplicity is good. My only feedback is that I mostly skipped the guards. I didn't even fight with them. Generally, I like it.

Fun game! The art and lighting is really really good! I also really liked the narration by the glados. The enemy guards were tough if you chose to fight them, but you don’t really have to. Great game, very on topic as well.

Great visuals, it's the kind of game from a game jam that makes me want to see what else the dev has done. Awesome

Developer

Thanks, means a lot to me :)

WOW, how did you manage to do something this good in just 3 days!?

Developer

Thanks I'm actually trying make a devlog of it. Subscribe to my YouTube channel to see when it's out.

This is a good little platformer adventure game.

But this game has nothing much instead of progressing, fighting and solving simple puzzle.

This game still looks nice. I like the graphic. Good job.

Huge fan of portal so I loved this game as well. Platforming is incredibly fluid. Good Job!

Developer

Cake + Jam = Wowieeeeeee!

Developer

Thanks that means a lot to me

Art is shockingly good, and gameplay is fun. Great job! I went insane when that one track from portal came on!!! not sure if you're allowed to use it though :/

Developer

Thanks for the comment.  I downloaded the music from valve's official portal soundtrack I don't know about its license but I don't think it would be a problem since game isn't commercial.

It's a cool atmosphere, the visuals are cool(not sure if you made them or not). Has some cool mechanics, a lot of unique voicelines which is impressive. All in all it was pretty fun!

Submitted(+1)

Movement feels kidna clunky, but the story and visuals are great and on topic!

Developer

Thanks for the comment. What do you mean exactly by clunky?

Submitted

Its really snappy and feels unbalanced, tho overall really great game
