This really surprised me! I’ve seen some games with a similar concept, but this was the smoothest one when it comes to the bodies you leave behind and the variety of obstacles you encounter. My only issue is that the camera feels a bit stiff, though that might be because I have low DPI on my mouse. All in all, a really good game!
If you have time, can you check out our game as well?

Developer

Thank you! Will be sure to check out your game here too!

I really enjoyed the game. It is well executed. The concept is quite classic for a Jam but fitting.

What I liked:

  • Good level design
  • Well-managed difficulty
  • Generally correct handling.
  • Reference to "Mind over magnet" ;)

What could be improved:

  • Some graphical artifacts with the character.
  • When you commit suicide, the character sometimes flips to the side, which can be annoying when you want to stay pressed on a button.
  • The music is a bit repetitive.

Overall, it's a good job. Well done.

Nice game, but I dont like that the robot falls over when he dies. It would be better if we can just simply jump on top of them.

Fun game, I like seeing the use your body mechanic in 3d. Decently fun, sometimes hard to tell where the hitboxes for things are but I dont think there is any fix for that

Developer

Thank you! You have any specific hitboxes that were hard to to tell? 

Submitted

Mainly just the spikes when standing on a robot body

Developer

Thank you! Think I know the issue with those. Appreciate it! Will try to take a look at them!

Nice game.

Nice ideas.

Nice game design with multiple paths.

Sometimes the camera isn't that great and block itself in wall 

Missing some juice when hitting a checkpoint

Developer

Will take a look at the camera. Multiple paths were an idea we wanted to make sure we had. Appreciate the feedback!

This amassing, almost perfect, the only neat pick is robot falling over after pressing "f"
Otherwise, add British sounding narrator, more levels with harder puzzle and you got a very nice game you can release and sell.
How is this not popular? are you skipping on rating others?

Developer

Thank you! Would love a British narrator lol. Unfortunately, at least myself, has been busy last few days but am finally getting to rating others here!

This is a really solid game. Nice take on the theme, fun levels and good music. I would maybe play some vfx or sth when interacting with the cubes as they don’t feel so “alive” now but apart from that i really enjoyed playing it and if it had more levels i would surely play them as well

Developer

We have some mechanics we unfortunately couldn't make levels for due to time, would love to make some more level here with those!

Submitted

Nice Game. I have seen these types of games in 2D, but you guys executed it well in 3D as well.

Developer

Yep! We are pretty happy to see it work as well as it as has.

Submitted

Controls feel smooth and responsive!

Appreciate the feedback!

I like the prototype-like 3D graphics, I think it suits the game well!

The government doesn't want you to know this but nice 3d platformer.

I like the idea of using your previous corpses to make progress. Music is pretty chill, too. Nice game!

Developer

Appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed it!
