Yoooo, this game is dope, initially, I was skeptical of all the controls, but the more I played the more I realized how **open** the game was. Like, there were several "Wow" moments: When you hit the second level and see how large the levels can be. When you bump something and realize the entire level is destructable. And when you start to understand the rhythm of the constantly changing ruleset. Absolutely, fantastic, great job!

Also, I love levitating on a telekitically pulled block. It's a dope feature.

Cool mechanics with unstable parts

So an platformer with giant worlds, shooting, telekenises, destroying the level, and cows you can kick over. And every so often you get cool ability that lets you destroy the level even more? THIS IS SUCH A COOL GAME I LOVE IT SOOO MUCH. seriously. Very cool!

@fonkin You killed me with your comment xD I assume you didn't pick the "pacifist" solution then? :D

Thanks for your comments!

Amazing SFX I will also try to make some in my next jam! Did I hear a vacuum machine?

the sound is perfect

Nice Idea. The fully destructible levels were fun, although it took me a minute to get used to. Sometimes, my movement got unstable before I could react and stop moving, so I accidentally destroyed stuff. Maybe giving the player a few frames to stop moving after the announcement would be nice. I also found out that I could push myself around using blocks I grabbed using Telekinesis. I'm not sure if that was intended, but it's a good way to save circuits when the movement is unstable.

Great job with the game.

I really like the different ideas. Although I feel like the telekinesis is kinda overpowered.

I wish I would have been able to restart the level when I lost to see the end :)

@erikengineengineer Thanks ! Yes, the vacuum cleaner is sadly the only SFX I couldn't do with the mouth :(

@sceef Thanks !

@gerox Fixing the telekinesis remains on my todo list :p I think it's better, even if it's broken. I noticed that some levels are really hard without it! Thanks for your comment :)

@dekajoo You can restart a level with the "R" key, sorry if it wasn't clear enough :(

dekajoo 2021-10-04 14:03

Damned I could have read, my bad 😅

Very impressive! The mechanic of telekinesis create a lot of fun solutions x) Well done!

This is great! With some more polish it could be super fun. I like the idea of exploring larger worlds - like a robot noita :D

lauchsuppe 2021-10-05 02:36

Fun game! In the beginning, I was a little overwhelmed and didn't know what to do. Perhaps it would've been good to introduce new mechanics one by one throughout the levels. That being said, after I figured it out I had a great time jumping on cows and playing around with telekinesis!

nebrazif 2021-10-06 07:34

Nice sounds, really liked the telekinesis mechanic, the tutorial is pretty fat but explain well how to play and it's very fun ! 😁 good job !

An original approach to creating audio :) And the shooting looks like the robot has decided to urinate. Is that how it was intended?

harmadillo 2021-10-06 17:52

This is great. Loved the audio. Lots of fun playing the the destructible levels, the telekinesis and the instability mechanic. plus killing all the cows.

Pretty rich game in terms of content and rules. And at the same time it's hard to understsand all rules to play the right way :D Mechanic of stable / unstable implemented very well. There is a sence of balance in it. Music is good. Visual is pretty neat.

Big like to tutorial - good job!

But I'd say the biggest problem is to achieve the finish rather than save villages or destroy evil.

fabdynamic 2021-10-11 17:37

wow this is really polished and I love the aesthetic. Its pretty much my favorite looka nd makes me feel like I'm inside a video game. Theres platforming and shooting and instability and interesting level mechanics. Its really cool. Thank you!

cip 2021-10-13 16:11

Cool concept and fun game. I liked how unpredictable/unstable things could get. It really felt like a race to the finish, because I didn't know what to expect next. And clearly a lot of care has been put into the art (sounds and graphics). I liked that everything had a distinct sound effect :)
