This was fun! I would love to see how this game would look if you worked on it for longer! (Also, I'm guessing this is a glitch but after playing for a few minutes the music stopped)

Very challenging platforming. When the game takes me for a long lift,  some sort of background would be appreciated as I don't see anything moving. :)

Yes we were hoping to add a grassy background environment or possibly a space-themed background, something for us to do when we have more time - thanks for the feed back

The music was fun and I loved the art! My favorite thing was how the robot's little antennae light up when he moves! The controls were good and the levels were challenging, it's solid platformer gameplay!

Glad you had fun playing :-)

Love the interactive menu! Was very cute and pleasing. I do not know what the stick was supposed to do sadly. I like the idea of repurposing your weapon. I liked being able to fall into a giant goal post. It made me scared for a second to jump lol. 

Overall I had the some feelings as OffByTwoDev

the stick damages the enemies but we didn't have enough time to add a marker(also it's ten hits to kill them)

Ha we were hoping for something like that :) thanks for the feedback

This was a cute little game! I managed to beat it and it was super fun :)
Here's some feedback:

Things I liked:

  • Sound effects
  • Interactive Menu
  • Overall level design
  • Idea of combining your weapon

Here's some things I was confused with:

  • I didn't understand how to attack enemies or use the stick (what were the controls?)
  • The platforms making instant speed changes can feel a little unnatural
  • Being killed by removing the player collision and falling off the world meant I didn't know if I'd died from an enemy or just from slightly missing a platform

But overall this was a fun demo! (Maybe if you send me the controls for the weapon I can have another play and see how that mechanic works)

(1 edit)

so the stick does damage to the enemies but we didn't have enough time to add a thing to tell the player "hey hit him again" also it was our first time making a game so we used a tutorial and that tutorial say, "hey delete his collision to tell the player about collision" that's not what it  really said but it was by the lines of that(if you're wondering we made a few modifications to the tutorial, well a lot of modifications but the movement was the same) also it's 10 hits to kill them

also the stick follows your mouse and if the enemy touches it, it does damage

Oh okay that makes sense now! Thanks for explaining :)

Yeap and thanks for the feedback, it was a fun experience for us submitting our first game!
