Really awesome. The entire package is really well done. Loved the map design and interconnectedness of the first area. I also loved that it looked like there were multiple ways to reach the final boss.

The platforming was very solid and the bosses were super engaging. The real highlight for me was the soundtrack though. I loved the dynamic music changes throughout the game. Entering the second half of the first area and having the other instruments come in, or having the final boss music evolve over the course of the fight was incredibly sick. You knocked the soundtrack out of the park! I knew from the title track that I was in for a treat, musically.

Other people have already mentioned some of the visual clarity feedback: I too felt like it was a little tough to distinguish platforms from the background.

But the whole package is just so good, it’s tough for me to criticize anything. I got the base ending in 24 minutes but I’m interested in returning to this to find the other power (I only got the shooting power and the floating power).

This is one of my favorites in the jam! Awesome job!

Really nice work! Nearly every metroidvania I do is essentially a robot being thrown away so the story really worked for me. Love the hint that you only need 2 abilities to cross the big pit, that was fun figuring it out sans-magnet. Also, it was great to play on gamepad.

My on minor complaints where the backgrounds, especially at the start, could sometimes blend in with the foreground. I still made made it to the end (regular mode) but sometimes I had trouble making sense of what were collidable surfaces. Of course this was mitigated as well by the fast respawns. It seemed to me that pressing up to save/talk sometimes took a few tries. Again not a big deal. Lastly, especially with the last boss, I think I would have preferred the boss to be all red, again so it would be easier to distinguish in the heat of battle, especially when trying to jump on it to recharge.

But all these are really minor, fun gameplay, fun story, good controls, you nailed all the big important stuff so all that’s left are minor things. Great work!

Oh maaah goddo, that's such a fun one!

I really love everything about this! The artstyle is super cool, the sceneries are aamaazzing! I really your backgrounds! The factory ones are so grand and imposing, while the city one is super such a vibe!
And don't even get me started on the music! It's gorgeous! and I adore how it keeps it ramping up as you progress, both on the overworld and on bossfights, it makes everything feel like a real journey!

I also loooveee when entries go the extra mile to tell full story lines, and this one is no different. I really adore the dialogue writing, too, these text bots are so fun to be around, and I actually liked the dynamic of the two main characters, their screentime is pretty short but I still like what I saw (Expect robot yaoi at your DMs at some point /jk)

Gameplay is also very peak! Everything is snappy and zappy and zippity nifty fun, as all good things in life. it always feels awesome to be fully geared out and go flying around at lightspeed in these games.
The way you handled health and mana was also super cool, honestly! limiting your max energy to your current health is a very fun concept, and I think you did it pretty well here, kudos also to your solid level design that actually seens to manage to not let you get softlocked at any point thanks to that, wich is something pretty impressive to achieve on a game with a system like that.
The bossfights are also very cool! Nothing beats a one to one rival fight against someone with the same powers as you, and the dynamic music also sweeps super hard! (I do kind wish the magnet was also used on that fight at some point, tho, I guess it was a little harder to implement, but as it stands it was the only upgrade that felt very sidelined... But it is entirely optional, so I guess this does make sense, since you could reach that point without it, anyway.)

And of course, it's a honor that "Pie mode" is even a thing at all, you flatter me x3
I did play the game on Pie mode, but not Super Pie mode, it sounds very funny, but it's description also implied to me that the bosses would also die in one hit, so I opted not to play it this time (I might check it out if I replay this on the future, tho)
I also LOVE how you implemented these extra modifiers, I am really gratefull you heard my preaches and not made them replay exclusive, but instead you found a way to actually make them feel replay exclusive thanks to leaving them out of the way, wich I think is probably the best way to implement these kind of stuff.

Honestly the only negative thing I have to say about the game is that I kinda wish there were more intentionally crafted platforming segments. Sure there are a few, but again, the magnet felt very underutilized, and you taunted me with a few tiny bit of IWBTG level design on a couple rooms just to never commit to it on later areas. But alas, in the end all I'm saying is that "I wanted more" and I guess that's the best negative point someone can give to something lol

Funnily enought, I actually didn't get the true ending. I did backtrack to explore a little more but aparently still not enought, but I played the game for a bit already so I'm calling it a day for now lol, maybe I come back on the future.

yo, incredibly sick movement mechanics in this entry. the movement speed alone makes the game feel very good to travel through, even with larger maps. upgrades are also really neat, and I like the idea behind the propeller. pie mode made combat more bearable, even though it also meant that everything dealt 2 damage to your puny health............. 

I'm not a huge fan of the way the battery works, though! the idea of your batteries being both your lifebar and charge meter, and the concept of temporary batteries sounds good on paper, but it falls apart in the later levels - being on low battery/health means that your movement and combat is heavily affected, especially when you consider how the dash costs TWO (2!?) batteries, and how the propeller costs THREE (3!!!) batteries to activate! i think it would be great if the upgrades could have their own cooldowns instead of sharing the battery meter - and maybe you could make the battery meter recharge on its own without needing to destroy enemies. the save points being regular and well-spaced helps reduce frustration regardless!

....Oh, right. I beat the game without the magnet. I am so sigma. Please make a game where you can beat with even fewer upgrades next time. I love that nonlinear minimalist speedrun stuff.
