How does your game fit the theme?
Each action the player takes depletes the options they can take.

We created all art during the game jam

We used pre-existing audio
This is cool little puzzle game! I would definitely take some time to really polish your input tracking and state changes, since I had a couple of failures that didn't feel entirely fair (namely getting stuck on grapple points).
But considering the time constraint, y'all did a great job. Well done, and keep up the good work!
Thanks for playing it in it's buggy game jam state! We updated it and made the controls way more smoother along with fixing many bugs we all complained about haha. We like working under a time constraint and are eager to take what we learned from this Jam into the next one. If you find some time to play again please let us know if you run into anything else worth patching!
Nice puzzle game! But I had some minor issues like the grappling bugging some times so I have to restart, also the jump doesn't feel right and the restart button is too close to grappling button so I pressed many times x instead of z.
Overall it's very nice and all this issues could be fixed easily. I hope to see a full release game.
Well Done!
Hi ambrits, my team and I had a chance to sit down and talk level design, we wanted to make some new levels but found that leaving the ones form the Jam there as a time capsule worked for us. We definitely want to work more on our level concepts and development on the next one. Thanks for your feedback on the first version, we updated the controls and they are way smoother now. If you have a chance to jump back in let us know what you think!
Nice puzzle! I like that its easy to retry a section when you know that you don't have enough controls to reach the next checkpoint! It took me some time to get used to the controls, so I've pressed X when I wanted to press Z, and it got a little extra out of control. Lol! Good entry!
Nice idea, although the graphics needed some work to provide feedback that you ran out of controls (I thought there was something wrong with the controls!) The sound that ensued when using the grappling hook is the stuff of nightmares (maybe add a counter or play only once). Neat artwork.
Thanks for the detailed feedback! I'm glad you hate the hookshot sound as much as I do hahah. We intended to have the robots limbs close colour as the controls depleted but in typical game jam fashion, scope was off. It was my first time learning and animating, and using Aseprite to make stuff as well. We're all about learning new things so it wouldn't be without it's many many flaws haha.
Thanks for taking the time to play and comment! We had big narrative plans that definitely are just missing completely from the game. We would hope our story concept would help bring that creativity aspect to it but in typical Game Jam fashion we ran out of time, big project scope. Limbs would lose colour, you would have a pick up from other robot animation to show you're stealing battery, and in the end when you sit down and die, another robot comes along to take your parts to keep running.
Hi Sprazzal, we had a chance to update the game since the Jam and the ending is finally in place! We didn't have enough steam to fully flesh out the story. For the next jam I will for sure focus on player story narrative. If you had any advice on how to work on, execute or even develop something more solid I welcome any and all comments!
Really nice looking game and a cool concept! Despite the odd glitch I had, great job!
Akira, I think you and I had the same random seed in the game queue because you commented on literally every game that was in my queue lol.
Anyway, I liked the game! Good ideas here. I ran into a few weird bugs, but nothing too bad. Nice work.
I really liked the idea and the puzzles/levels are good but there's a few bugs preventing me from progressing. One of the checkpoints spawns you in the incorrect areas with insufficient action points to complete and there's a few points where I fell through the floor. Other than those and a few minor bugs, I liked this project, the sprites are good and I feel like polished up this would be great!
Unable to play/rate, movement controls did not work. On refresh, it seems like the movement controls worked for a second and then fell out of the world. Tested in web player on chrome
You actually only have limited moves, you'll see at the bottom batteries that show how many lefts you may have or rights, jumps etc. We wish we had time for more narrative and tutorial elements to get players really rolling. If you have the patience to push through and experience our little game fully I would love to hear more feedback!
Thanks so much for the explanation!
Sorry if that was already in your instructions and I just didn't notice it. -- Honestly, I didn't notice the batteries at all because they are so tiny on my display. Simple things that would have made a big difference would be to display a message "out of moves" when there are no batteries left. Or, hearing an 'error' sound when you attempt to use a key that doesn't have any uses left.
On replay, I was able to get to the second grapple bridge, but there the "clipping" shortcut was not able to get me through the technical issues.
It's always tough to be up against a deadline. What I'd recommend for next time is to make sure that you get the core gameplay loop down before adding features (getting those clipping issues resolved before adding stuff like the grapple). Ultimately, I think what you've got is a good concept & presentation to expand upon and if you're feeling bummed about the technical issues you should still be proud of what you accomplished in 48 hours.
Nice idea. Feels something like a puzzle game mixed with a plattformer
I liked this a a lot, it feels a little rough 'functionally'; I had some issues with repeated sounds and some weird collision, but it didn't really detract from the experience, and in the end I felt like it did a good job with it's concept.
