How does your game fit the theme?

Much was created by myself. I used the Wilhelm scream. A friend helped me out with some voice acting lines. See my full description for more details, and to read about my process

Interesting 3D platforming game with some creative mechanics.

I'm not sure it was by design or not to have the character only able to strafe left and right instead of moving in the same direction as you are facing the camera. I found this to greatly hinders my ability to play the game.

very clever but very hard

A really good take on the theme. It's a little too hard for me but I love it!!

Pretty damn hard!

Basic platforming challenge with constraints progressively added on top.

I struggled with understanding the malfunctions and how to circumvent them, and  the camera can be rotated but the robot 's movement is locked to the core axis, which may feel like trying to drive a car backwards.

This was a good idea - well done! I like the look of it.  

I feel sorry for those poor underpaid, soon-too-be-unemployed engineers though...

Really interesting take on the theme! I especially liked the robot and its animations. Good job!
