This was a very fun take on the theme! The last level where all the sounds and keys starting coming back online piece by piece was my favorite. I felt it was immediately clear what needed to be done in each stage, and never felt lost.

How does your game bring our theme, Systems Offline, to life?
Systems Offline is the mechanic. After each level, one of your robot's systems (dash, double jump, wall cling, jump, move-left, even your sprite) dies for good, and the next level is built around what's left. But a dead system's key still fires a Residual Signal, a pulse that passes through walls and flips remote relays to open gates. The soundtrack loses a layer with every system, and the last level reboots everything.
What did you do to ensure accessibility of the game?
Keyboard-only with multiple key bindings, instant respawns, generous checkpoints, and forgiving jump timing. Options menu: Reduced effects (no flashing/shake), High contrast, Assist mode (slower speed), volume and scanline toggles. Nothing relies on color alone (status uses shapes and text), and level 1 teaches every control through play.
Did you include the Indieformer or Patch Notes logo somewhere in your game?
