This game was well done, graphics were nice, particles are fun and the platforming mechanics were innovative. Criticism mainly focus around the environment, mainly things are too static, would help to see some movement or some post processing effects, however this being made in you own engine you might not have the luxuries. The player move speed also feels too slow.

hey HEY everybody play this one! Its jolly great. I wish there was more content which is the best criticism to have I guess.

This was a very fun game to play. You managed to design a puzzle platformer that has some very unique ideas and were able to teach the player and challenge them in such a short amount of time. I loved having to use the other robots trails to help heal me, as well as having to control where I explode as to not destroy the path. I would defo keep working on this. Would love to have the camera a bit more zoomed out, maybe a mode that would let you see the whole puzzle since it would also let you plan out moves in more complex puzzles. While I eventually got it, the jumping level doesn't communicate well that you have to jump over the lip, especially since the two blocks were the same color. All in all a great entry, if you polish a bit more all you would need to do is add more levels and it would be pretty fun !

Wow, I like the fact that you felt comfortable to use your own engine for this jam. Well done on that. I must honestly say this is a good entry. I did however found a lot of bugs. Especially clearing the stuff on each level when one dies.

It is a very intriguing puzzle game. well built from the ground up. art style fits well. continue expanding on the game engine.

Hugely impressive! The puzzles were solvable and the concepts introduced smoothly (although the message about switching robots when you only have 1 was confusing). It looks great and the menu music is also wonderful

The visuals are fantastic and the mechanics are novel and interesting. It obviously begs to be much longer. Complex levels with three or more robots would be fascinating. Also, the lack of music during gameplay was a letdown, considering that there is music on the title screen.

Great job overall, though. This is a great entry.

Well, your game engine seems to be fully functionnal, and even if the game is short, it still is a little challenging. As always, arts are amazing for a game made in 72h, so, well done and good job!

Awesome game! Very polished considering you made it in your own engine.

This is a cute little game. And it's impressive to see that you have used your own game engine to create it. Very well done ! A little bit too short but it was still a nice experience. I had a bug where the moving audio clip was looping and stayed until I quit the game but other that that, it worked fine for me. I'm not sure the theme of the game suits the jam theme since, well, it's not inevitable to loose, but it's okay, it's still a good game nonetheless. Keep up the good work :smile:

So uhm did you made the engine during the jam as well? If so I don't know what to say :D even if not it's a very nice looking game with an interesting mechanic :) Congrats of a great entry!

Pretty solid mechanics! I was just starting to get the hang of it when the game ended, could have used more levels! But 72 hours really flies fast.

Graphics were great. Solid sound FX. Innovative gameplay as well, haven't played anything with mechanics quite like that before.

Good job!

I think you made an interesting mechanic that has legs. I'd be interested to see where you can take this game. Congrats on the game engine! It seems to be working well

Amazing achievement in 3 days! I started trying to make engines before I made games so can see the effort put in here, very inspirational (:

Just looking over the games Ive played before voting ends and this was one of the first I thought of - great stuff
