As you say, a very ambitious project! It looks pretty good right now, but it needs more work. I would humbly suggest concentrating on a much smaller subset of features instead of spreading yourself thin.

That's a game that I'd love to see fleshed out and polished up.
Very ambitious, probably too ambitious for 48 hours. I only found a gun beside the target beacon. I once pressed F1 and after that my robot was slow again (I had gotten an extra motor before).
Quite well done!
Conceptually good, but has some issues. It seemed like the map was littered with invisible walls. It seemed I could never fit into single tile spaces, even though the car/robot seems to be that size. I also found brown areas that looked like bridges but that I could not drive on, which was strange. By that time though, I could jump high enough that I could drive a bit into the water and jump across. That I also found weird. That I couldn't drive on some areas that looked drivable, but could drive a little way into the water. The only gun I found was the zapper, which was a bit annoying to use since I could not move while using it. It's like it was a temporary landmine or something like that. One final thing was that I had little clue as to where I need to go, except the little star on the map, but then that was my main goal. I had very little clue on my immediate minor goals. I was also a bit confused at first because I couldn't jump but if I pressed space it would still make a sound and I would lose energy.
Sorry about all the complaints. The good news is that those are not too difficult to improve upon. :-)
invisible walls is not fun how they were used. Preinstalling stuff was not fun. killing snakes and lizards was fun however. Good start to the game. Liked collecting powerups.
Needs some serious work, but it could be really fun in the end.
