So I realised I totally saw you at CB2, but wasn't sure it was you, until now! Anyway, must say hello next time, will you be about for TIGjam?
Excellent job, this is really interesting. I think with more work on the physics it could be really tight. I like the idea of using a fork-lift type attachment, and I'd love to see more done with it.
Very nice and polished for the timeframe.

Yeah, sorry, I think I was full on head-down busy at work whilst you were there or I'd have said hi properly. I've got my ticked booked for tigjam, so yes, will be in Cambridge again then. Cheers!
Played through it there. I realized once I had the yellow and red blocks to hand (there's a room with the two side by side) that I was some form of god ;)
Controls were ok, but picking stuff up was awkward.
I did feel a bit weird about having to replay so much of the same every time that I died (and there didn't seem to be a convenient way to avoid death on some sections, though maybe I didn't notice some stuff).
Anyway, cool - I'm happy to have played it :)
I didn't make it through, but I like the moodiness. Suffers a little from "a thousand twisty passages, all alike" syndrome.

Pretty cool idea, the audio + visuals set a nice mood, but its hard to keep track of where you are in the level. I wasn't able to finish it. It would be nice to have a meter for your power too.

Really excellent! It's almost too much fun to mess around with combining objects, I often died because I forgot to pay attention to my power level when digging deep into the walls. In fact, I enjoyed playing more than paying attention to your level design! Awesome atmosphere, reminds me of some of the bleak eighties robot games.

Pretty fun. The graphics is reminiscent of those c64 games where you have no idea what it's supposed to look like, but it looks cool :) Moody indeed.

The first level was great, but the second level was just too big. I got lost and could not figure out where to go after a while. Controlling the scale would have helped increase the longevity of the fun factor. Nice game, I liked it, just a bit of a scale issues past the first level. Needless to say I was not able to finish.

Nifty idea, physics are solid.
I got lost in the second level as well, there's a bit too much to do after that first tutorial level. Also, I didn't see no hint of my power level and suddenly stopped.
Love the simple yet intriguing pixelry.
I enjoyed the visuals on this one but the game play felt a bit lacking. I liked the combining canisters for effects though.

I had difficulty with the scale of the second level. Either a mini map or some type of signage would have been nice. I suppose I could have busted out the graph paper though. I really think that it fit the theme and had a good tension with the battery running out though.

This is a pretty cool game. I don't see the point of 'the keeping the robot thing powered' part, it felt more like a distraction. When the game opened up a bit, I easily got lost.

Wow,...cool game! Liked it very much!
Interesting. I had no issues keeping the robot alive - at points it almost seemed like I had too many stations easily available. Didn't get lost either. Was a lot of short fun.
Good game! Though it was at it essence about collecting rods to bomb walls repeatedly, since I was able to move quickly and there was sufficient variety in the way the rooms were decorated and arranged, I enjoyed playing through it. I didn't really make much use of the batteries or gravity-reversal. The music and sound were great for the atmosphere.
Excellent game, I like the way you made all room look unique with few design elements.
