While the controls don't feel great, I really enjoyed most of the puzzle mechanics! The combat was a little iffy, as it was more about stunlocking the enemies than it was a balanced fight. Some of the puzzle interactions were really slow, mostly the fans. But the visual design is gorgeous and the robot felt like a great character! With some polish on the feel of the controls, the combat and some more sound design I can see this being a real gem!
Round two! I will say the puzzles are getting far more interesting, but that goes hand in hand with them becoming more tedious. Due to the scale of the environment and the slow and somewhat clunky movement controls there ends up behind quite a bit of time between the payoff of solving a puzzle and the payoff of completing a puzzle. Because of this it makes them seem to drag on far longer than they feel like they should. Adding some sort of per-section warp system or some other means of fast transportation between different elements of the individual puzzles would cut down on this disconnect considerably!
I think I finished the game? I was playing with PC. When I defeated the walking plant, The game froze at the white loading screen. Does it do this because it's the end? I hope not. There's a weird thing about the fight with the plant. When I cut off all the surrounding vines, I go into the giant flower to attack the red orb. But then, the flower closes up! And I just appear right next to it! Maybe show the flower spitting the player out? Or at least show character coming out of the flower before it closes! By the way, why am I fighting this plant anyway? It doesn't really make sense. I get transported through a portal to fight a walking plant? Then what was all the puzzles for? I really like this game so far I hope I can get some more free samples!
