"You win." lol, classic.

Pretty interesting take on a hardcore platformer. It was nice to have a new challenge.

Rad job with with the engine. :> Also, nice work with the different areas. The graphics and music really adds to the atmosphere, feeling like a drone in those places. (The sound-font/music works very well towards that too btw.)

Tbh the physics felt a tad too slippery for me and took a while to grasp, and I felt that hitboxes on spikes could be more forgiving (Empty space in drone's lower-right corner can collide with empty space on right-wall spike's top-left corner).

Aside from that, the game feels pretty cohesive and polished. Definitely one of your better solo submissions and looking forward to more. ;) Nicely done.

There is not enough progress in complexity.

This game feels very polished, and very fleshed out.

It's nice to see a precision platformer, especially in a game jam, with a really fleshed out. The graphics look simple but great, and fit very well. Hitboxes were unforgiving, which isn't what you want in a game such as this.

This is definitely a great entry in the jam, and im glad you made this. Top marks.

Very cool game! Congrats for getting all of this done in 48 hours!

I'm being very picky here but it feels like the hit box on the guy is a little too big, i.e. I die sometimes when I haven't quite hit a spike.

Great job overall and keep up the good work!

The hovering mechanic is interesting, how you jump a specific height and then move along it for a time.

The slow acceleration and inertia does make the controls feel a little unresponsive.

I like the graphics/sound/music!

Loved this one !

It feels really polished and plays really. The levels are really well done : not too obvious and not too frustrating if you get into a groove. The "lava" zone is maybe the most frustating, it's where I started to feel I didn't have enough control over the drill.

Overall it's a really solid game. Congratulations on such a nice entry !

I managed to complete it! I really enjoyed the early levels, they felt more *puzzly*, but towards the end there was a huge spike in difficulty that made it a little bit frustrating.

I enjoy a good challenge though!
