Correction: they must be blocking greenky-man.itch.io subdomain which should be possible I guess unlike blocking a particular page under http?

The symptoms (ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED instead of ERR_TIMED_OUT) aren't like any other website blockage on my particular ISP as far as I've seen.

The website doesn't open despite what looks like a mostly succesfull tracert. I use 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 for dns on this pc.

As you can see in this independent registry, that game page was blocked back in 2022. May that be that before itch.io update a few days ago they've been able to look though https and block that particular page only and now that it's no longer possible it falls back to blocking the entire website?

i don't remember what was the 2d platformer i saw many years ago called but a google search reveals such games. it seemed even less puzzly though, more of cannon fodder themed (as in concept, not the 1993 game)

the idea isn't new, but i like your implementation. using ragdolls feels good. level 2 got me puzzled for a while. i didn't initially realize you cound revive robots, thought it's restarting to a checkpoint. here's a video how i finally completed the level, i wonder what was the intended way?

Or maybe you wanna go in a little different direction

Really liked gameplay and handling... I wish you added some Jetpack Joyride style missions for replayability.
