Cute little puzzler, I love puzzles where map manipulation is the mechanic. I thought the world design worked well, the character was cute and had nice sounds, and the puzzles were interesting without requiring mechanically hard tricks to pull off. Overall a fun little game, well done!
Nice puzzle game and the character is quite cute, could be longer :). I'm not sure if jumping was needed in any place in the game. In one spot I got stuck on the edge and I couldn't move - a restart option could be useful.
@smilewood Thank you for the kind words! We worked hard to add some cuteness factor, glad to see it's appreciated.
@piw Thank you for playing. We will be adding a restart button. Unfortunately, we missed a bunch of spots where you can get irrevocably stuck. Sorry that happened to you.
You're correct that jumping is never technically needed, but it can sometimes help you out. We decided to keep it because Clappy looks cute when he jumps ;)
That was a cute game. Took me awhile to figure out what the final puzzle was meant to be but I got it.
Wow I like this artistic style!! A very cute robot with no legs but can jump a bit but not too much. Fun puzzles and I enjoyed using arrow keys for the view, sadly got a bit 3d motion sick so didn't stick to the end. Still, great job finishing this game! Out of interest, tipped it down the edge and got a glimpse at the inside components (oops~)
Great graphic style, I'm glad I didn't rage quit at the first puzzle, I kept clipping to the ledge on the first jump and assumed there was an invisible barrier! Once got through that was surprisingly plain sailing to the finish, the other puzzles were neat especially the final one. I like the triple buttons at the finish line.
I don't know why but the sounds the little guy made were really funny. Made the game really charming and cool to play. I also got stuck unfortunately, but the part that I did play was really interesting and I enjoyed the puzzle platforming element to it. As a music composer I would have loved to hear some music, because the moving sound of Clappy sound like a synth, and it would be so cool if the music was activated by him moving with that synth sound. Otherwise super cool game!
Adorable puzzle game with a clever mechanic where you reshape the level itself. Unfortunately, I frequently found myself lost with no clue how to proceed, and a few times I got stuck on a ledge with no way out, forcing me to relaunch - a restart button would be a big help
@cheeks, @darkshadow and @myokka Thank you keeping at it! We didn't have time to add more context clues for players, but clearly the puzzles need them.
The clipping and getting stuck is a problem. We will add a restart button as soon as we can. For future games, we need to test the "stuck-iness" of our levels better.
@kash Happy you liked the sound! It would indeed be great to add music tied to Clappy's movement. We will keep that in mind for future adventures of Clappy.
Really cool puzzle game. Perhaps controlling the camera with the mouse would have been simpler. Great entry ! Nice job
@alexis-brochec You *can* control the camera with the mouse
It was sometimes a bit disorientating sometimes with the movement of the bot and the camera, but i enjoyed the puzzle and the way the map changed, good job :)
@alexis-brochec It's possible to switch the camera controls in the settings, but we should make that more clear. Maybe we will add a toggle to the start screen for future jam games.
I really loved the style and retro aesthetic of this game! The puzzles were snappy and exciting - it took me a while to figure out the camera controls and wrestle with the slow fall that Clappy can get caught in, but once I turned on the mouse controls it worked much smoother! I would love to see more of this game, great work!
This was very fun. Loved the sound the robot made. Sometimes i got stuck on edges, but it slowly fixed itself.
Got quite far but fell off and was respawned at the very start :( the platforms were still pushed away from my previous passage and was stuck!
