The pixel art is really nice, could even make for a full game

I feel immense joy helping the corporation save money at my own expense

Developer

As any TRUE worker should, yes.

I liked a lot the art style and the original premise of the game!

The actual experience felt a bit rough around the edges: the dash is difficult to control and you payload tends to get stuck easily around the corners. I also felt a lack of tutorial and the npc felt too static. It looks like you got a solid idea though, so maybe with more polish it will fly.

What an interesting concept, looks great. I feel like there was a bunch more to each level that I didn't reach though I guess that's part of returning back to the start repeatedly to save people. 

i realy liked the idea but got stuck on the people i saved and the wall if that is meant to happen perfect otherwise could you remove their collision with the player

Haha, nice one) I'd say if he's a Time traveler he should know what's gonna happen exactly when, that would add a ton of strategic layer to it) And, well... He's kinda actually saving people, so... INSURANCE IS GOOD?

I really liked this game. The gameplay is fun, the artwork is good, but the story was kind of hard to get a grasp of. In understood eventually tho. Good game!

It's a fun game. The physics can get a bit clunky and get you stuck lol.

Love the pixel art, it's detailed and all fits well for a consistent look. The sound effects also blend well with the gameplay. I found the controls to be a bit too sensitive and easy to trap myself as I picked up a bunch of people.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

Developer

Yep that was one thing we just didn't have time to iron out lo

Cool concept, but it's very easy to get stuck in the client's collision and they can push you into spikes
