Very nice game, very polished, good variety of traps, slick UI... very impressive in 48h. I did quit at the platform levels because the character not following the platform made me crazy. Great job!

Good job, very polished!

Wow, great pixel art and animations! The added pipes and laser particles are small details that add a lot! Good work!

@jhell yeah I was struggling to implement it well within the time so I had to leave it. It made level 8 really hard to get gold even I stuggled to get it myself and I made the game :)

I love the graphics. They're really cute. I think the dead bots should be aligned to a grid though, because I found I died at a single spike where I died before. Also, the platforms didn't move you along, which is an incredibly annoying thing to deal with. Good game overall

Your game is simply perfect :heart: I played all the levels and this is pretty fun! The animations are nice, the music is cool... The ONLY thing I would change is the laser sound effect. Great job! :clap::sparkles:

Really, really ingenious game with a good approach of the theme. I love it!

Great job man! Lovely game and I enjoy playing it :D The mechanics and level desing are perfect and inovative!

Really liked this game! It's one of the few I played all the way through! for the longer levels, I would recommend adding checkpoints because it felt punishing to have to replay a level even if you didn't make any mistakes. Nice work!

Nice concept and great implementation! I espectially like that there is nothing not necessary - it is minimalistic in a good way. + Kudo for animation of sitting robot - it's perfect!

Very smooth little game, love the retro style music, we understand the mechanic quickly and it's fun :D

Really fun and relaxing experience, good job!

Some improvements / fixes you could implement: * The platforms need to move you around. Some fun levels you did were a little frustating because you had to struggle to stay on the platform. * The volume for the BGM is a bit too loud. Don't get me wrong, the song is great! * There was a thing in level 9 where, after completing it with 0 sacrifices (_wow such skills_), I got no awards. Dunno if it's intentional or not, but I did it by jumping from the last platform.

In spite of that, I had a great time playing through levels and trying to get gold-medals.

_(Oh and I love the crouch sprite. TO. CUTE!)_

really good had a ton of fun i could see this being made into a mobile game

@salierus thanks for the feedback, i didn't quite have enough time to implement moving with platforms so if I take this game further I would. I didn't intend for a level to be beaten with no sacrifices but good find! Glad you enjoyed the game.

Definetively, one of the best games of the Ludum Dare 43!!! :smiley: :scream:

I really love it!

The artwork, the sound effects, music, mechanics... All the game is awesome, seriously! :smile:

I love pixel art, and what you made is a jewel! :sparkler:

Awesome job, I love it! :smiley:

What a great entry! I really like the idea of gameplay and execution. Maybe it would be even better if it was a bit more difficult, but I understand that it's not a good idea to make a hard game for LD as people wouldn't be able to finish it. I tried to find any flaw, to give a quality feedback, but I really can't think of anything. It's simple, but it's simplicity is what it makes a great game :)

I really love your art style. The robot is super cute and I love all of the different animations that it has. Your sounds are also really well matched to the game. I did find some of the controls a bit hard to use. I think that the air control that the robot has is a little too much; all throughout the game I found myself expecting momentum from my jumps and then falling into the spikes. Along with that I would have liked to be moved along by the moving platforms instead of having to tap the direction to stay on them, especially with the platform where I had to stand on a robots tiny head while it moved. Otherwise, I thought that the level design was great, it did a good job of feeding me new mechanics as I went through the game and each got harder and harder. I never felt like I was sacrificing anything however; the robots that I used to create myself a path through the levels felt like disposable parts rather than something to try and keep alive as long as possible. I thought that this was a really awesome game overall though; it has some great art and theming as well as an interesting set of puzzles. Great job!

ps. It would have been awesome to have a web build. You used Unity, so you can just build for webGL and host it on itch.io along with your downloads

@smilewood thanks for the feedback I'm glad you liked the game. I did want to add the player moving with the platforms but in the time I wanted to get other things polished but if I continue the project I would add this. I did try to make a web build but when I uploaded it the game didn't work well there was no audio and scenes would not change so I had to fall back on a windows version so I could get it released in time for the compo. Thanks again for the detailed feedback I'm strongly considering taking the game further.

The game was great! I love the music and the artstyle was just amazing! I forgot quite a few times that you have to move while being on a platform and died :P I would love to play more of it!
