Honestly I think this is one of the best entries in the jam, I’m surprised it hasn’t gotten more attention. From what I gathered you’re a solo dev so I was properly shocked by how much depth the game had. I love the art and visuals, especially the idea of having the base factory and then modifying it as each stage progresses to add new challenges and give it a new playstyle. Wasn’t paying attention and almost turned it off when I realised I couldn’t boost anymore in stage 2 until I realised it was intentional and I was still able to get all the parts.
Audio is nice, jet pack noise I think was too harsh for the chill vibe of everything else. Love the personalisation with the name and the general universe and setting, great little touches and humour. Took a while for the use of the theme to sink in for me but I thought it was great between the factory itself and the robot decaying. Gameplay itself was pretty straightforward and easy to handle, bonus points for controller support.
Trying hard to find negatives rn but I never usually play platformers so I can’t think of any and didn’t notice what others have mentioned. Very well polished, fun to play, and alot of depth added in a short amount of time with clever design, really great visuals too. Right now I would have it easily in my Top 5, hope more people play this. Fantastic amount of work put in for 48 hours.
