Using a Mac so I'm not able to try it, sorry!
So you're "Sockhold"! Man, I'm so glad that your game is awesome!
I enjoyed the art style right away. Like, you know how to work with what you've got and make it look good. The scrolling offset on the background, the wiggling on the robot, and the textures are all pretty big so you don't notice the wrapping.
I really like the physics. Nice fast acceleration as you move off and slower stopping for a smooth halt. Jump physics are nice too.
I love that you made so many abilities. It actually took me a couple of levels to truly understand what everything was (like, I hadn't realised the double jump was because of my backpack, but I knew it must do something, then on the level where you have to repeatedly swap round the different backpacks I suddenly realised that you could respawn the backpacks from those little stations, hadn't noticed that before). But that's more my idiocy than anything.
Fun game, lots of tricky little puzzles and clever bits where you're like "Ha, I got through and I didn't even need a backpack", move forward and then you're like "Crap, I totally needed that backpack".
And the tutorial area is nice and simple, just key presses.
Impressed!
No idea why that other guy even posted, either.
Oh and by the way, I set up a new link that has a leaderboard, which you've topped forever:

I wanted to give you a trophy, but you don't have a profile I can access!
Cheers.
In that moment im using mac.. and dont try it..
Ooooooooooooooh this is so good! Lots of thought went into this and your puzzles are well made but HOLY CRAP that tutorial is king. You taught me how to play while letting me play, which is the best way to do it.
The visual style is certainly unique and consistent but the real draw here is your amazing use of theme and the fun factor. This is a real winner!
RAD!
wogh nice game, the graphic is awesome, but when avoid the purple water its little difficult hehe.. but still its awesome game XD
Cool game, with really nice background details and actually having the robot subtly change! Did find a bug with the double jump that at one point made be jump more than two times, then later made me jump a huge amount and out of the level bounds.
Also a note, the game does work on a mac; I used chrome and the unity web player and had no issues.
I like the introduction to get the player used to all the powers at one time. Well done puzzles and level design. Good job
Hey, thanks for the nice review. To bad I don't know how the profile works or how to make it public lol.
A+ tutorial and level design, best execution of the "choose your powerup"-style games I've played. Some of the puzzles proved to be quite a challenge! Well done!
So much keys. Very good game.
Great little game, nice graphics and the story got me somewhat hooked :)
There's a little something wrong with the scrolling parallax, not sure what it is but it makes me kind of sick :D
Nice game :D the tutorial reminds me the one in little big planet :D
Heh, this was very nicely executed. The puzzes were good and it had me hooked onto it for a very long time, trying to solve 'em. Plus the great graphics and the nice, smooth controls.
Rather interesting idea and it's very nicely executed! While the tutorial is excellent, I got a bit lost when "floating" was explained.. I got what I have to press but it was a bit difficult with the screen blocking me. Made me feel a bit stupid ;)
The collision detection was unpleasant at times, especially when I keep sliding down the corners of platforms I'm trying to jump onto, but it was at least better than many other games'. The movement itself was very fluid, and the puzzles were well thought-out and fit with the main mechanic of the game.
That was impressive. I like the mechanic but sometimes it does get a bit tedious. Would love to see more levels!
Cool use of theme! Fluid mechanics and puzzles. Great job :)
If you have time, please consider rating my game! I would really appreciate it:)
Graphic design and gameplay are wonderfull :DI like it!
GOOD : Nice idea ! Good level design ! I like the integrated tutorial.
Bad : I am stuck with the "key module" : I don't know what to do (I don't have module : I have restarted).
This reminded my of my LD#26 game, but done in a much better well.
My main complaint is about the platforms... using a round edge my it hard to make some jumps...
This game was a bit hard to understand, but I did like it. I included it in my Ludum Dare 28 compilation video series, if you'd like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/IHhkgdPuakc
