Wow, this is a nice concept.

magimaster 2013-04-29 11:07

I keep breaking the robot.

martijn 2013-04-29 11:16

Awesome conpect. It feels to be at a bit too slow of a pace and the psysics are kinda buggy, but overall a very fun game

Thanks! Unfortunately this was my first time using chipmunk (first LD too), so I did not get the physics to be as stable as I wanted - got a few bugfixing ideas late in the development, but it was too late to incorporate them into the entry.

Ahah, i break my robot & i don't know why. Great use of the theme, i love that :)

idovoodoo 2013-04-29 12:07

Great concept. Controls take a while to get used to but well done.

bummzack 2013-04-29 12:11

Noooo its robot QWOP!

hegemege 2013-04-29 12:24

That was so much fun! I ended up glitching on top of the table and it swang my robot all the way to the left http://prntscr.com/12o02w

Very cool concept, fits the theme perfectly!

The physics in this feel very good -- I love the "wobble" when I'm swinging the "big" end in the air.

Excellent concept, and definitely the sort of thing I would enjoy in a larger game.

I don't normally think of tablet gaming, but this might be a REALLY good game for a touch screen, where you could manipulate joints/segments with pairs of fingers.

Wow I really sucked at that, but had a lot if fun in the process ;)

drstik 2013-04-29 13:20

Like mechanical QWOP, which makes it awesome (even if my tiny brain can't accomplish much with the controls).

stiju 2013-04-29 13:36

Great concept, really fun to play.
Tried to go under the red bar but then my robot broke down and glitched out of the game window.

semi 2013-04-29 13:54

Oh no, it's QWOP all over again! I wish the physics weren't so buggy that the robot breaks all the time, because I don't even manage it onto the red platform to do the book carrying mission. So far, I thought it was the most creative idea that i've tried though and I really had a lot of fun playing.

metadept 2013-04-29 20:58

Really, really like this concept. I have a hard time wrapping my mind around the servo configuration (partly since I keep flopping the robot around in weird ways) so maybe you could put a tiny label with arrows and keys on each joint? I also managed to rip my robot apart by getting stuck under the shelf, but that kinda added to the fun and humor of the whole thing. Great job!

(also, I saw you had a problem running my game; if you could send me an email with some more details I'd really appreciate it)

tozy 2013-04-29 23:07

somewhere in the middle of those ladders my robot managed to get inside the concrete and then to the unknown :P

foxtacy 2013-04-30 01:58

I had a lot of fun trying to play it propperly X'D. Cool idea man!

tcstyle 2013-04-30 20:54

I really like the basic idea, but the controls are pretty tough to get inot.

pixelfan 2013-05-03 23:43

Crazy idea, remember to me QWOP, so fucking hard to use the robot, i likeit!

davedobson 2013-05-04 19:46

Neat concept, and surprisingly robust physics for the controls. I did get the arm separated from the base and from the claw at a couple of points, but it reconnected once I toyed around some ore. The goals assigned were harder than I had patience to do, but it was a terrific idea, well-implemented.

gamerespect 2013-05-06 13:24

Decent game. Reminds of QWOP.

kefir 2013-05-06 17:00

Idea is really cool! But it's a bit too hard at first.. Maybe you should immerse player step by step

badlydrawnrod 2013-05-06 17:05

Clever. Mind bending. With a bit of tweaking this could be an excellent physics puzzler.

aaron9000 2013-05-06 18:10

Also reminds me of qwop (in a good way). The physics are a nice touch.

johnste 2013-05-06 18:47

Great game, I love physics puzzles and this one is great. A bit hard to see all the instructions sometimes though, I missed a few ones when I started out and made some bad choices because of that.

goerp 2013-05-06 20:02

Haha, this is like a slow motion QWOP.
I loved QWOP, but got nowhere, here I get somehere although a LOT MORE SLOWLY.
I just would have like audio. Maybe for a future version?

LOved it.

mrexcessive 2013-05-08 20:46

Great physics toy... Magnet/base sticky makes all the difference.

johnnysix 2013-05-08 22:35

Possibly one of the hardest games I've played so far. :)

The concept is cool - but I had a really hard time propelling the robot, I ended up just spinning the foot and waiting for it to drag itself along the floor.

minionstudios 2013-05-09 16:16

Great mechanics and very challenging! The control layout is not intuitive, but that increases the difficulty.

stevejohnson 2013-05-09 20:55

The biggest trouble I had was physically moving between challenges, so it got stale for me pretty quickly. I think it would be more enjoyable if they were closer together, or if movement between them was automatic. Great job otherwise, though.

cosinep 2013-05-15 00:51

Great concept, great implementation. Loved it.

deathray 2013-05-19 19:08

Great points for innovation, but I wasn't able to pick up anything so couldn't do much of the game. I had a lot of fun trying to move around though. This would make a great educational game!
