How does your game fit the theme?
in Start, It’s All You Have, the only thing you can do is press the Start button, and that’s where everything begins. each press doesn’t just start the level, it triggers actions and forces you to adapt. every time you die or complete a level, you use a new robot with new mechanics and the cycle begins again. in the end, as if nothing ever happened, the game loops back to the beginning, reminding you that sometimes, all you can do is… just get started.

it's very fun, a mechanic i never saw being used before so the puzzles were very interesting. I liked changing what the buttons do to the robot later on, it made it even more interesting.
thank you so much!! im glad u enjoyed the core mechanic of the game! :>
This game feels very polished, I like the music and the visuals and such, it's all very cohesive. I agree with the other commenter about level 4 though, the pattern is very easy to understand and intuitive, but the way it's laid out is a bit cumbersome... the level is pretty lengthy compared to the ones before it, and having to click 3 more times just to loop around to what you need can get tedious after dying 1-2 times, suddenly it's more about finding & clicking start than platforming, haha
Overall, this feels like a demo for a really good & polished game, I'm impressed! Very cool game
thank you so much for the feedback! i take in consideration what y'all are telling me about the game to fix it and make it better, i appreciate your honest reviews! again, thanks for having played, glad u enjoyed the game so far!
interesting idea, like what you did with the theme. do wish level 4 wasn't so deliberately frustrating though, having to loop the starts many times just to get on a platform on the right cycle became cumbersome
thank you for the feedback! level 4 get frustrating if the player doesn't start to use his brain and calculate patterns, but yeah i see that if u try it for the first time that’s the feeling you get playing the game. im sorry i u got frustrated playing the game, ill do my best to improve my next games!
Very fun game! This is one of the games I tried during playtesting, and even back then it was so good of a game! An incredibly creative take on the theme!
thank you so much! i appreciate your feedback!
I love the interpretation of the theme and how it was implemented in the game, it was very unique and fun! At first I was like "why can't I jump?" but then I decided to use my brain and start clicking on the start buttons. And then everytime I thought that was it, you ended up adding in more mechanics. Incredibly well done, no negatives!
tysm for the feedback!! im really glad u enjoyed the game so far without negatives! thanks for having played, it means a lot to me!
and yeah, i created the game to in a way u must use the brain, im happy the game gave you these vibes!
thank you so much! happy enjoyed the game! btw i already played your game! it was amazing, i think i have the feedback in my community post. but yeah great concept!
This is a great game! Super fun once you get the hang of it, and a VERY creative use of the theme. I kept instinctively hitting the space bar to jump xD this is a great game I would totally buy on Steam!
thank you so much!! im truly happy u enjoyed the game. the fact u would buy it on steam means a lot to me, again, thank you! <3
Very neat, very well executed. It's simple but it's done very well. It's also unique I havent seen this done before. I'm surprised you were able to do so much with this mechanic. It's simplle abut done very well and it's fun and satisfying to play, well done!
thank you so much!! im so happy u found the core mechanic that great! glad u enjoyed the game! :>
