This game is a little hard to rate. There's clearly a lot of system work here to make it function in the background, but not all of that translated into a fun game.

A tutorial, or a text hint on how to use the power plug would have gone a long way to letting people explore the rest of the level you created. As designers, your game should be able to communicate its intent to players. I don't think swapping robots or lasso-ing with the power plug are bad ideas, just that without any way to get that across, people will leave confused, instead of happy and inspired.

As it is, however, i did get far enough in your game to escape to the title screen! It's cryptic and difficult to control, but this game is more finished than most! For that, be proud...but also mindful of the lessons learned.

I really like the art in this game, the character seems a bit out of place for such well done pixel art. I was a bit confused at first but caught on pretty quick. Good job!

I was able to get out of the very first part (with help from the dev) and found the other robot, but gave up shortly after that. It may just be my patience, but the controls and mechanics were just too hard to start and catch onto to keep playing. 

I like the idea, I think it is quite good; I just don't favor the implementation. Great job on submitting for this jam though!

Something interesting ideas here (I really like the idea of playing as multiple characters and swapping them out), but the controls and gameplay overall feel clunky. Could be interesting to further explore this idea outside of a jam, though.

Very unique gameplay idea with the plug mechanic. The jumping was a bit clunky and made platforming difficult but it's a good start.

I don't want to leave a rating on this game yet; I may be missing something obvious but I cannot figure out how to progress in the game at all. I have figured out how to shoot your plug out and cannot do anything past this.

Shoot your plug into one of the pulsing wall outlets, then shoot again to retract it and fling yourself upwards. Thanks for giving it a chance.

Congratulations on the publication! The AD is cool and the character controls are nice and fun. Even if I didn't understand everything well, I enjoyed this short experience.

Loved the graphics in this game. The story set by the notes on itch page was really nice also. Unfortunately I wasn't even able to beat the first level, I know I was supposed to be a clunky robot trying desperately to survive, but still a little tutorial at the beginning of the game would sound really nice. Also wish the audio was implemented :)
