We greatly appreciate your review! I am the artist for our game.
Since the theme of the game jam is "spin to win", I thought that spinning gears as an indicator of health would be easily readable. The use of something creative without any text was the goal.
For the generator it is necessary to hover over the bar with your mouse, that was our way to differ from the usual "dragging it with your mouse".
Only 2 upgrades can be equipped, one from each "page", or more correctly "side", I thought a sort of notepad would be cool looking for the inventor, therefore I called it a page and no, there are only 2 pages, the first one has passive upgrades and the second one upgrades that you have to activate with the spacebar.
There is unfortunately no sound, as we didn't have the time to implement any.
The metal is based on the appearance of the robot, which is why I have chosen the brown colour and it also doesn't blend in with the floor. It never occurred to me that it may look like a wooden plank, or at the very least not up close.
The difficulty of the game is based on our skills of beating the levels, but I agree anyone else could have trouble for sure.
Walking diagonally is in fact faster. We didn't consider it as a bug, but more of an accidental but a welcome feature that you could make use of.
The majority of our problems occurred due to the time limit. Once again thank you for your feedback! Have a great day and good luck to you in the game jam as well!
thank you! agreed the game could have had a lower difficulty, we didn't have any problems beating the game but that must be because we are the developers of course, as for the audio, we will definitely try to incorporate that too next time
