I didn't expect the ending, it suddenly fits the theme very well. you do fall off ledges very easily and sometimes it can be frustrating when you die all the time. good game :)

Submitted

super fun game, and i like the way you fit the theme, letting you replay with different choices because theres many robots :) the ambience of the game was also really great and i really liked the execution of the game.

Submitted

Great idea to have the player choices - nicely done. Controller is very 'floaty', but with some tweaks this could be a fun game.

great game! cool graphics and the gameplay is challenging,  the abilities must be balanced in order to progress the game, the gameplay is enjoyable , some minor platform snags are noted (I cant get off the two small ledges even though I have double jump) overall I enjoyed playing, congratulations! keep it up!

Platforming was fun and interesting. Really did like the mix and match aspect of it, though some combinations require more dexterity than I have to use ^-^;. Cute robot friend!

Submitted

Pretty cool platformer! Was hard but rewarding. I like the concept of switching stats at the beginning to help navigate and solve your way through the map. Very well done!

Great and polished game! I love the core mechanic, it can open up to such interesting game design, it's really a very good idea! The relationship with the theme is far-fetched, but I love the concept. Congratulations =)

This game seems to have nice idea and it is quite polished, but i can point out wall sticking. It does ruin much of experience, i suggest you to try to avoid that in future projects.  I loved the variety of ups to choose from, this thing you nailed! Good job overall!

Good game, could you please rate my game https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-8/rate/1680919 ?

Switching up abilities was a great way of keeping the game fresh the whole time

Submitted

Great idea, I really liked the way you have to choose the abilities

This game makes me think of me as the machine learning robot, trying to figure out the correct combination of attributes  to pass a level. The game's a bit difficult though, and for some feedback, id like if the checkpints can be placed closer to where the player dies, or selects attributes.

Very Cool Game, Hit Everything Just Perfect ;P

Submitted

very cool in terms of mechanics but I just don't see the theme in your project. It was very fun though and mechanically and innovation wise it was very nice. Good experience overall.

Cool game Idea. Incredibly hard for someone like me without plattforming skills though.

Perhaps you could add a difficulty setting post-jam how many upgrades you can have at one time.
