Beautiful, polished game. I think it would work even better if it wasn't trying to be Portal and instead stood on its own.

Great Game with amazing polish ! Particularly the sounds effects thats are just nuts. A few things to make the game event better :

- Jumping feels a bit too powerfull and doing it sideways make it hard to control. It's also hard to understand if I have 2, 3 jumps or more, maybe choose a number and stick with it

- A look ahead + damping camera would be great for the platforming section, right now the Camera goes immediately up when I jump and it feels a bit dizzy 

- A bit too much of screenshakes when fighting

Otherwise, awesome and really fun game ! I like it !

Visuals are really good. The jumping and combat don't feel too great though. And the screenshake is nauseating. But a well put together spin-off game.

is this tileset downloaded?

Developer

Yes it's a free asset with a CC0 license

A fighting mechanics could be even better. Firstly I would rather prefer to attack on a keyboard key, mouse is not used in the game except it's left button. Secondly it takes really long to kill a single robot, so it's a lot simpler to just ignore them.

As for other parts, they are just great. Visualls are 11/10

Developer

Thanks for the comment. I used left mouse for attacking because I personally like using mouse for attacking in games but that can change from person to person. I could use arrow keys and z, x for my next games. Or make a  customizeable control system.

Really great game.

Great job - this looks and feels fantastic! I came across a minor bug - if you drop the box after picking it up (where you need the box and 2 keycards) it seems to fall through the floor and out of use

Thanks.  I guess somethings wrong with unity's collisions I'll check it out.  But for now when that happens dieing would fix it and hitting the door controlled by the pressure plate damages the player.

Because robots can't make robots :D But honestly I didn't even thought of that.

The game's simplicity is good. My only feedback is that I mostly skipped the guards. I didn't even fight with them. Generally, I like it.

Fun game! The art and lighting is really really good! I also really liked the narration by the glados. The enemy guards were tough if you chose to fight them, but you don’t really have to. Great game, very on topic as well.

Fun portal fangame! The pixel art and animations are amazing!

Developer

Thanks I really liked your game too

Great visuals, it's the kind of game from a game jam that makes me want to see what else the dev has done. Awesome

Developer

Thanks, means a lot to me :)

WOW, how did you manage to do something this good in just 3 days!?

Developer

Thanks I'm actually trying make a devlog of it. Subscribe to my YouTube channel to see when it's out.

This is a good little platformer adventure game.

But this game has nothing much instead of progressing, fighting and solving simple puzzle.

This game still looks nice. I like the graphic. Good job.

Huge fan of portal so I loved this game as well. Platforming is incredibly fluid. Good Job!
