Simple mechanics. Wish you could have went up or down a little more deliberately, but otherwise, I loved the music and sounds. Could have just used a slightly better character model? Lol. Great job! Nice leaderboard mechanic.

Really excellent music and a fairly nice aesthetic. Was a bit confused as to how the game actually was played since there appeared to be no instructions (other than to press space) but it was impressive you managed to get highscores in there too. If I could make one suggestion (other than providing more instructions :slight_smile: ) it would be to make the player a bit more detailed so they fit the environment more. Overall, nice work though.

Haha, I like the idea of a ragdoll runner where you lose bits! Wish you could do a bit more to control your crash!

blackopsben 2020-04-22 18:34

It's got potential but I'm not crazy about the lack of control. You can go up, but if there's something in your way upward, there's nothing you can do to avoid it.

That's was fun, realisation is very good (graphics, sound effect VOICES !!!!), but we need have a lot of luck to make a good score because of control was limited. Good job !

Nice job with the graphics and audio! The jetpack and destructible limbs felt nice, sometimes the physics exploded though, haha! It was very hard to control and it was quite random how far I'd get. The UI looked very nice as well! Simple mechanics, maybe a bit more balancing to spawn fewer enemies at the start would be useful for players to learn how to play.

Very difficult to control but funny

davision 2020-04-22 20:05

Really cool! Feels like there is a lot of RNG to it or I'am just bad at controlling it. The graphics are very good just the character looks out of place, some cyber crash dummy would have been cool IMO

nithman 2020-04-22 20:08

The controls were a bit limited but other wise great. Nice Music ans Graphics!

drazihnya 2020-04-22 20:11

Loved the graphics and audio. Needs more control over the dummy. Good job!

Nice graphics! I could finally beat La Patate. Your game could get really improved with an upgrade system, maybe you can check out good ol' [Toss the Turtle](https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/508440) for inspiration.

I liked the visuals and audio. Tried few times but could not fully get the controls down, and with one crash it just snowballed. I liked the idea though. Keep it up!

jlelez 2020-04-22 20:36

Yes, thank you all for testing this game. We know all of your feedbacks, and we are trying to do it more playable with the robot graphic. We're updating this game but we know, it's after the gamejam, so rate it with the first link you have. But keep in mind we'll make an update in a few days of your feedbacks. :)

The art is really good but I wonder if you didn't have time to model the character or if chose to do it like this ? The concept is fun. Well done !

alkis 2020-04-22 20:47

Nice graphics and very cool music/sound effects. Like the idea very much, just the gameplay felt a little uncontroanble. Overall very ambitious entry.

mikest 2020-04-22 20:47

i like it but as others said the controls are confusing. still a great entry as i really think the sound and environment are solid!

niels 2020-04-22 20:48

I really digged the style! I love the voice over. I did not like to press space because that almost always results in me bashing my head to the roof and losing parts of the player.

nodlehs 2020-04-22 20:55

I enjoyed this, really well done graphics, sound, and theme. My only complaint would be the control(s). It felt like just barely tapping the space bar would send my guy headbutting the ceiling, maybe a little less thrust per hit or some way to slightly adjust the vector of thrust.

fabula-rasa 2020-04-22 20:59

Interesting interpretation of the theme! I liked the graphics an the audio a lot. Gameplay didn't really grab me but it was fun for a while :)

grtodaro 2020-04-22 21:51

The graphics are great but I can't controll the character.

zesix 2020-04-22 22:12

Oh, the audio in this entry is spectacular, well done there! Does the leaderboard work, or is it just an homage to the arcade games of old? Surely someone has scored higher than me lol. Great entry, well done!

projectaroid 2020-04-22 22:48

Excellent game! Fun to play and easy to understand. Nice art, audio, and gameplay.

almax 2020-04-23 10:32

Beautiful aesthetic but I found the gameplay a bit awkward, it would have been nice to have more subtle control over the vertical boost - something like Jetpack Joyride would have been perfect, as almost every time I pressed space I hit the ceiling and took damage. In fact my best run was one where I didn't press any buttons at all and got lucky with bounding off the tops of obstacles :laughing:

systematic 2020-04-23 21:08

Cool game, interesting graphics, but I wanted a bit more control over my character.

prodigalson 2020-04-26 00:00

Does the announcer say "leave"? The physics are a little hard for me to grasp so that I could control better and this type of game can benefit from a wide angle so that I can see what's coming and have more time to react as I found myself not having enough time to properly respond and crashing into the ceiling as the boost appears to only have one option "max". :)
