This game was a bit too hard for me, so I couldn't finish unfortunately.

The control binding system may need some more refinement. Remapping controls was too cumbersome, so I often just stood in place until my keys re-enabled since the time penalty wasn't so severe. I think I waste more time if I try to fiddle with the controls than I do if I just stand in place and wait for the key to re-enable.

I was hoping I could use my keys more efficiently by connecting them to two actions. I was disappointed when I found out that drained the key twice as fast. I feel this could have added more depth to your game play.

I really liked your artwork. You used a nice color palette and all your assets look super clean. Good job!

Thank you for your feedback! Very little playtesting had been done on this game prior to the voting period so it's likely that certain mechanics/drain values/etc. will be adjusted at the end of the jam and everyone's concerns help narrow down which mechanics need to be revised.

I think the game is hard to play, but not in a bad way. Mapping your own controls is a cool mechanic and you implemented it well. Good job :)

I love the idea, really smart implementation with the dragging of the lines to the buttons.

So stressful and fun :P

Fun idea. A bit hard for left-handed play using spacebar. The button fatigue system really put a new wrinkle on things as I started questioning whether to reroute powers on the fly, making my controls even more complicated.

This hurts my brain but it's fantastic! Great job creating an original idea!

I really like the turning via mouse. The controls are funny, my robot looks really drunk but gets the job done.

Good stuff!

This is fantastic! I like the minimalist art-style. The idea of remapping your controls on the fly is brilliant! but my muscle memory wont seem to let me play this with any degree of dexterity. XD
