A very fun and addictive game. For some reason the energy bar only appeared for me on the first two levels?

Got stuck on the lava slope but very good fun!

@bace1000 @DesignerNap Thanks for the kind words! The energy bar got improved a lot thanks to your feedback. Turns out taking stuff away from players is seen as a bug at best. It's a more visible part of the game now.

The lava slope got made a bit meaner, it's the last level after all. We have added quite a few more before it :D

This is my favorite puzzle game of the jam so far. Its really neat. I really like the puzzles naturally. My only complaint is that sometimes its hard to understand why I died. It might help to stop the game for a moment so I can see what hit me. Super great entry!

You did good creatively using the physics and hazards. One or two levels were a little annoying but otherwise this was really good. Fun play for sure.

Really nice game, i had a lot of fun playing it.
Also, i didnt really understand how the lava/fire worked, i kept dying.

Thanks for the game!

Neat design and the difficulty is spot on for a jam game. And lasers do indeed have recoil for the same reason that light sails work for space travel :P! Timmy is probably quite a small bot if that is enough recoil to move him...

Amazing! I would say expand it into a full game but it already feels like one

Very fun and unique game. The constant clicking does get annoying though.

Amazingly fun, very unique take on the theme as well by having an unconventional use for a weapon.

Great idea! Nice mechanic, one of the best mechanics I've seen so far and a great take on the theme. Art is simple but works, nice level design to introduce the mechanics, nice sound and nice music choice. Overall really well done!

This was neat and the level progression as great. I like how you introduced new elements in a way that was safe and you could experiment with before it really counted.

A suggestion would be to reduce the hitbox on the fire. There were times when I would die when it never hit me. Also, some immediate feedback of my death would be nice too.

A great clean layout!

Cool! Simple, fun, varied. I like the inversion of the theme - an unconventional use of a "conventional" weapon.

It's fun and really nice, albeit short. Really nice to play, controls are simple and make the game nice to play, the graphics fit the style of the game and the sound work is also good. :)

Needs more levels! /o/

Very awesome puzzle game mechanic, gameplay felt smooth and was fun trying to figure out how to tackle a level!

Seems a bit basic at first but became really fun once the levels got more complicated. Really nice concept and very challenging.

An energy bar appears on the screen and I can't really play but for the first 2 levels.Very good and nice music!

Great level design. Mechanic was simple yet fun. I like the introduction of platforms you can shoot to activate.
