I got up to the spiked staircase part and put the box down on the zone and then hit a spike and died before being respawned and it froze the game and I lost my progress unfortunately. I was having so much fun up to that point though. It's such a compelling game. Amazing stuff for just 1 dev. Probably the best platformer controls I've played with in this jam, with such a compelling premise, captivating, narrative/dialogue, amazing art, beautiful gameplay juice. This has to be one of my favs of the jam, and is my fav solo dev game thus far. I might have to go back and give it another play soon, so I can get past where I got soft locked!
Also was a little disappointed I didn't get a "Nice" for repeating just shy of 70 times at the start lel, but damn I was impressed with the amount of dialogue you had there tho. It made me wanna keep banging my head against a wall :p
Thanks so much for making such an awesome experience ^_^!

How does the game fit the theme?
You're an AI in training. You defy the rules that your creator gives you. The creator thinks that nothing can go wrong... or can it?
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
I made it all, except soundFX

I really enjoyed the game! The art style and dialogue are pretty nice (I obeyed 50 times haha). I also like how new mechanics were introduced gradually.
My only criticism is that the spawn animation feels a bit too slow for a game where you die quite often (I still think it looks great). Overall, well done!
I really enjoyed the game mechanic, the sound effects were very good, sadly i got a black screen after the first red button. But very good job!
Somehow I ended up a black screen with some sound effects but a well thought one. Well done.
This was a really fun puzzle platformer! There were some very interesting puzzles, the presentation was great and the dialogue was a nice touch. A few criticisms I have are that the controls feel a little slippery for how precise you need to be, and respawning is a little slow, but these were pretty minor and did not take much away from the overall experience.
A legit full game. Cute little animations sprinkled throughout in a tasteful way. (Speaker box moving, jumping, resets)
The only critique I could even provide on a game this polished was there was a single typo I says “Bottum” and maybe add a subtle background track because the game is a bit longer?
A+ game though, super solid. I have it paused because I want to come back and finish it later.
Cute puzzler, loved the graphics and sound. Puzzles had the right difficulty curve for me, and I liked the story framing the game. Excellent work!
was hard at times but very fun. ive never felt like this over a box since my poor companion cube in portal!
Love a good precision platformer...especially one that lets me defy orders! Great level design, and I really like the minimalistic visuals. Managed to escape the simulation in the end too! Well done, and good luck!
I like it. I think the theme fits well, and the pixel art is pretty nice. In the first level I pressed the button, and the screen wipe happened, but it didn't go away and the screen remained black. I ended up refreshing the game. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Well done! The game feels very polished, it's a good platformer. I think maybe it lacks innovation because the "AI setting" is just a setting with no real affection on a gameplay, but despite this it's a nice good platformer where you solve puzzles and try to do hurry on time. I also really like the visuals, the best I have seen on this jam!
got so entrenched in the game i actually started pretending like i was an ai, good job
love your take on the theme! really like what I saw, even though my game stayed on the black screen after the first level, but that's probaby because of the browser version
I only played a bit because I'm playing in browser, but from what I saw it's very well made.
It's a simple game, but it really requires creativity to solve the problems. The level design is done so well, making the game incredibly fun!
